I didn’t know how long I lay there crying in the dirt but it wasn’t long until I heard a comforting voice which brought me back to my harsh reality.

“You know I remember how hard it was on me and Frank when we were trying for a baby.” My sister’s voice was suddenly there and she sat on the dirty ground next to me, placing my head in her lap. She stroked my hair back and told me of her own experiences.

“I remember a huge fight me and Frank had over it. Thinking back now and its odd to imagine that it nearly broke us up.” I frowned in her lap and started to feel the rain fall around us. Libby didn’t budge and neither did I, as what she was telling me was too important.

“I made it out like he wasn’t interested in having a child and threw it in his face that he didn’t care about it as much as I did.” Her sad voice told me of her regret and it only got sadder as the story went on.

“We had tried for years and the heartbreak of getting my period every month was as hard for him to watch as it was for me to endure, but I never saw it…I guess I was too wrapped up in my own self-pity to notice his.” I thought about what she told me and wondered if I was doing the same?

“When I think back to the horrible things I said to him that night, all I feel is shame for putting the man I love through that. I feel ashamed that I ever let him see that side of me.” She continued rubbing my wet hair back from my face and staring off into the trees.

“What happened?” I asked softly and she gave me a smile that wasn’t really all there.

“I told him to leave. I told him to get out and never come back, that I was done.” I sucked in a sharp breath of shock but I didn’t need to say anything.

“I was so upset. I blamed him and all I could focus on was having a baby. All I could see was something that I thought I wanted most in the world and how he wasn’t able to give it to me.” I closed my eyes thinking about how this must have made Frank feel and I felt so bad for this awful time they went through. A time I had no clue was happening.

“I know that look, one I imagine I gave you quite a few times before, when you kept how you really felt about things, but you would never tell me either.” I knew she was right, so I kept quiet on the matter, asking her instead about what happened.

“He was gone for a week and I thought I was better off. I convinced myself I didn’t want to be with a man who didn’t share my own dreams.” She wiped away a stray tear at the pain that the difficult memory obviously brought back.
