The picture in the frame held a lot of memories. Some good, some sad. Her tired eyes roamed over it one last time before she tossed it in the fire. It was time to start afresh
She remembered her childhood,born in an average family and the first of the children,
she had a load of responsibilities to support the family.
She was the first of eight children
she was deprived of her education and had to trade with her mom in the market.
she was eighteen when a wealthy family asked for her hand in marriage to their son,more to say ,she forced into marriage,as a way to support the parents noeducate the younger siblings.
Her husband encouraged her to take adult education and she was able to learn a trade.
She was happily married,the family treated her well,and she bore four children with her husband.
Her siblings did well in school and continued to tertiary education.Their parents died in a lorry accident on their way home from work.
The picture frame was of her family before she got married.
She smiled and wiped a tear,and threw the frame in the fire,as she turned to her grandchildren.
