"Love does not last forever, then?'He asked me the same thing this morning,' she said. 'No, it does not - not love that has been betrayed.

A love story between my grandparents, that my mother flushed down a proverbial toilet so that she could shoot up, throw up and pass out."

I often had that effect."
