Unanswerable Questions
When someone asks you if their mother ever liked them, was ever proud of them - how do you respond without hurting them, when the only answers you have will not fill the void? When my mother died last March she took her truth with her. She wasn't one to tell anyone how she truly felt about them beyond an arm's length sort of honesty. She never told me that she loved me, not to my recall; and she never said much to me about my sister either. I learned to live without answers, and I can't answer my sister's question.
