OUR HANDS

Margo heard Anna say through her crying I'm a city council woman for peace sakes, how can I hold my head up now and look people in the face when everybody is looking at me because of my daughter, you hear me Margo! Margo said Anna at a time like this you're worried about your reputation about what people think, my God Anna you need to get a grip because this definitely is not the time. You do know that more than yourself is involved here this is not just all about you. As Anna cried Margo said Renae hid it well Anna and my son after he and Renae were divorced helped her to keep it hidden for the sake of their children and everybody else. Anna, Malcolm took the blame for it all because it could have been scandalous back then right after he and Renae were divorced but maybe not so much now. We can't hide it any more Anna because it's out now. Margo heard Anna continue to cry through the phone. She said Anna this hurts all of us you know Renae was once my daughter-in-law and she was my grand children's mother and the worst part for all of us was having to stand there watching Renae's body being laid to rest. My heart was so broken for Callie and Carol and watching Malcolm, my son Anna, my son! standing there with them looking like he was about to squeeze the life right out of both of them. I felt like I would just break into pieces seeing that. That was the most hurtful feeling so you go ahead and cry for all of it because I'm crying too. Anna there is nothing we can do now about how Renae chose to live her life she was a grown woman. It was her life and we have to go on, we're still here Anna and you can hold your head up high through all, of this thing. Sure it might be hard right now but believe me it will get better.
