My friend has a framed picture of my grandmother in her apartment.

5th grade I started a motherless children club. We got…<br>- a school bus trip to an amusement park.<br>- a few holidays at a scout camp. <br>- fiberglass igloos near a beach. <br><br>1 of the mothers said she…<br>- can house an extra kid if a mother is working and has no time for their kid. <br>- had a spacious home and has an extra room. <br>- no parents to answer to. <br>- can house 2 if there is enough money. She suggested 2 working mothers pay her and she takes in their kids. I think it didn’t work out. <br><br>Her husband came from a very rich family. Her husband’s sister is best friends with a good friend of mine. The husband’s sister will inherit some land which is worth a lot. <br><br>I assume she liked my mother. She took my mother out for…<br>- a play of I think it was “A view from the bridge”. <br>- a Mozart opera. <br>- a ballet performance of “Bolero” or “Carmen”. I think it was the “Bolero” because I remember my mother loved the “Bolero”. <br><br>Fast forward to…<br>- a party at the husband’s sister’s place. <br>- my mother left to answer a phone…<br>- I walked outside. She was crying because of a…<br>- mouse. She threw a…<br>- champagne cork to scare it away. <br><br>My husband and I went to a…<br>- party I think at the husband’s sister’s place.<br>- my mother and…<br>- my great aunt were there. I think my great…<br>- aunt was drunk. I took my mother home.<br><br>My great…<br>- aunt was a…<br>- freemason. She got…<br>- a house from a…<br>- man. She…<br>- broke a leg and…<br>- the man gave her a…<br>- walking stick. I think the…<br>- walking stick was a…<br>- cane.<br><br>The man…<br>- owned a…<br>- theatre. He gave my great…<br>- aunt a…<br>- foundation. She was the…<br>- chairperson and sat…<br>- next to the…<br>- king and…<br>- queen during…<br>- performances. She sometimes…<br>- escorted the…<br>- queen. She liked to…<br>- tell my…<br>- father and…<br>- mother. They were…<br>- unimpressed. My…<br>- mother…<br>- said she can’t…<br>- stand my…<br>- great aunt but…<br>- she is a…<br>- friend. I…<br>- think my…<br>- father can’t…<br>- stand my…<br>- great aunt. He…<br>- never said so.<br><br>Back to my…<br>- mother and…<br>- her friend and…<br>- the…<br>- champagne cork and…<br>- mouse. My…<br>- mother was…<br>- in a…<br>- wheelchair and…<br>- her friend…<br>- pushed her. She…<br>- saw a…<br>- mouse and…<br>- threw a…<br>- champagne cork to scare it away. I…<br>- think it was an…<br>- “All…<br>- men are…<br>- bastards”…<br>- party. I…<br>- think she…<br>- suggested a…<br>- party like…<br>- that.<br><br>My…<br>- mother’s friend…<br>- got very…<br>- sick and…<br>- my…<br>- mother…<br>- got a…<br>- desk…<br>- job and…<br>- worked for…<br>- her old…<br>- friend.<br><br>My…<br>- mother…<br>- died. My…<br>- mother’s…<br>- friend…<br>- got…<br>- better.<br><br>My…<br>- great…<br>- aunt…<br>- died and…<br>- my…<br>- mother’s…<br>- friend…<br>- adopted…<br>- me.
