    And were an epitaph to be my story
    I’d have a short one ready for my own.
    I would have written of me on my stone:
    I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Every one of my friends had a bad day somewhere in her history she wished she could forget but couldn’t. A very bad mother day changes you forever. Those were the hardest stories to tell. . . . “I could still see the red imprint of his little bum when I changed his diaper that night. I stared at my hand, as if they were alien parts of myself . . . as if they had betrayed me. From that day on, I never hit him again.”
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
