The Mother-in-Law

by Sally Hepworth

I’d always loved wearing Mum’s clothes. Barely was there a day when I wasn’t wearing a coat or a scarf or a piece of jewelry from her collection. There was just something about having something of hers wrapped around me that made me feel close to her. On days that I really missed her, I wore multiple items of Mum’s.

That’s when I realized. Some people jumped in and tried to save someone who was in trouble; others did anything they could to save themselves.
