In the beginning

A long time ago there was a woman who decided that when she got old, she would stay in her bed and then one day she'd die. This was, basically, her retirement plan.

And when she hit 65, she did essentially this. Of course, she kept eating and taking her medicines, so the reality was that she wasn't going anywhere.

I met her around the time I fell in love with her eldest son. This is our story. It's awful.
