Aria remembered her mom coming home a week to her sixteenth birthday with tears in her eyes,she brought home a paper in a brown envelope which she warned her children to never opened.
Aria was in the kitchen with Autumn planning her birthday when Lorraine came in,her eyes were teary but she wiped them off the moment she saw her kids and put on a heavy smile.
Aria and Autumn knew something was up but they decided not to bother their mother with questions immediately" mommy",Aria called out to her.
" Thank God you're home,Autumn has some weird ideas for my birthday,I don't think it will be right if my friends are to come over and see the disaster that she has planned,this is my sixteenth birthday and I don't want it to go bad, I'll only have it once", she told her mother while taking the groceries from her hand.
Autumn who knew something was up with her mother couldn't speak a word,but she starred instead. Autumn was the only one who knew their mother had cancer,but Lorraine told her not to tell her siblings; not even her father. Autumn knew when Lorraine went bald and was covering it with a wig and she still didn't say a word.
