Her bright blue eyes weren't glazed over but gleamed with happiness. Stacks of pancakes too big for either of us to eat filled the kitchen along with her soft humming. Sunday mornings were filled with eggs and bacon rather than broken bottles and pounding headaches. Soon my excitement to return home from school was turned into dread; and my once free afternoons were filled with long hours at work. I knew it was only a matter of time before my luck ran out and things spiraled out of control. After all, the fairytale ends when you close the book.
