The Anniversary Waltz
The morning haze of June 10, 1994, was particularly tiring for Shelley. Two months of pregnancy have started taking its toll, from the dreaded morning sickness to the backache that no Tylenol could kill. Taking it easy around the house, a restless Shelley figured today was just going to be another typical hot summer day. Mark, who started work earlier in the day, came home early, catching her off guard.

How many times have I told you, my breakfast has to be ready before I get ready. Even after 25 years of marriage, why do I have to tell you the same thing again and again, what about you? You will stay comfortably at home, I have to go to work. It's you who always acts like a fool. If you do this deliberately then remember no one will be worse than me." Even today, David's temper was high. This unnecessary anger of David was not a new thing for Sophia. He lashed out at Sophia like this three to four times a month. Used to study. Earlier, Sophia used to oppose him but when no change was seen in David for many years, Lata changed herself. Now, whatever David said did not make any difference to Sophia. Everything David said She would listen quietly with her head down. If there was any argument, David would directly tell Sophia, "If you don't like me, why don't you go to your parents' home?" Why do you live with me? Despite everything, Sophia lived with David because she was worried about her daughter. And that caste also said that she did not want to trouble her old parents at this age. What will society and people say? He had to see this also. She was not even educated enough to go and do a job on her own and support herself and her daughter. Sophia was no longer worried about herself. All he was worried about was his daughter who was getting married. Sophia did not want her daughter to be disturbed due to the fight between husband and wife.

My feet pounded on the well-kept sidewalk as I raced toward the low-hanging sun. Houses were mirror reflections, staggered in a continuous, predictable pattern. Mom taught me to look for the one tree in our front yard that made our house unique. I had... no, I needed to be close.

Grandma Millie wouldn't let life's hardships steal her sparkle. Her hands, etched with the lines of a life well-lived, always held the warmth of a thousand summers. She'd endured more than anyone I knew, yet her smile remained as unyielding as the ancient oak in her backyard.

The way she commands a room has everyone in a ten mile radius enraptured. Her smile is as contagious as a yawn. Her eyes the color of freshly bloomed marigolds. I envy her, her beauty, her intelligence, her wit, she is as perfect as you could ever imagine. Until you look closer.
