The Tides Swept You Out Of My Life

by Heather Hardy

My brother-in-law passed away in an accident. Out of pity for his widow, my husband decided to be the breadwinner for both families.After that, my husband and son both gave all their love to my widowed sister-in-law.On her birthday, my husband and son reserved a restaurant in town for her party.I was plucking corn in the field when I started bleeding, a sign that I was miscarrying. I called my husband, begging him to come home and take me to the hospital.However, he scolded me angrily, calling me a liar. “What the hell are you talking about? I haven’t touched you in months! How could you be pregnant?”My son grabbed the phone impatiently as well. “Mom, the teacher said lying is wrong! Aunt Laura’s blowing out the candles now, bye!”We had been married for seven years, yet they had completely forgotten that today was my birthday too.Despairing, I dialed another number. “Mother, I changed my mind. I’m going back to inherit the clinic.”
