KASSANDRA WAS ALWAYS an optimistic woman, never going unhappy for too long no matter the circumstances. She spent her entire life trying to instill this trait in everyone around her, especially her children.
She is what some would call a 'free spirit' but in her opinion, she was just doing what made her feel good. Being happy made her feel good.
Though she understood happiness wasn't a feeling that stuck around long for most people because of the situations they were born in. So she tried being someone people like that needed, she sought it her reason to live.
Be someone to someone, was her motto.
"Don't you got homework to do little girl?" Kassandra sassed playfully
"No!" Kenji giggled, "You can even check my book-bag."
Eyeing her daughter's mischievous smile, Kassandra simply shook her head "Imma let your father handle that."
"Daddy is a silly man. He tried helping me with my homework yesterday and he was more confused than me."
"You're in third grade... what is there to be confused about?" Kassandra raised an eyebrow, placing the dish rag across the sink
"Thats what I said!" Kenji exclaimed, dramatically throwing her hands in the air
Before Kassandra could reply, her chest tightened as she roughly coughed. She quickly ripped a paper towel off of the rack, holding it to her mouth.
Kenji frowned, even though she was so young. She wasn't naive. She knew something was wrong with her mother, plus, the blood gave it away,
"You okay mommy?" The little girl tilted her head innocently before running around the kitchen island-counter to retrieve a water bottle from the fridge
Kassandra weakly smiled, taking a seat on a stool as Kenji handed her the water "I'm alright baby. Don't you worry your pretty little head about me."
Wiping around her mouth with the paper towel, she stared at the blood clots she'd coughed up then shook her head and threw it in the trash.
