Violet was the incubator who brought my precious gift to me. I am ever thankful.
I met Violet just once.
It seems harsh to see her as a birthing machine rather than a beating heart or a living, breathing soul. However, Violet wrote the rules, and demanded compliance. Unquestioned compliance is what she was given.
Ours was a non-relationship.
She relinquished a valuable treasure, while disinterested in the rate of return on her investment. Did she invest anything?
I am thankful, yet stunned, by Violet’s nonchalance.
I am eternally grateful for the gift I received; mother and child, and the outcome; precious, unconditional love.
Violet was not a flower.
She was an incubator who gave birth to my mother.
