Beatrice was the one who continued the tragic tale as Anna seemed too emotionally distraught. "After our mother's demise, our father tried his best to step up to the plate, but he was depressed beyond saving. On one night he also decided to try the same drug that killed our mother. He didn't perish but instead became a serious addict. He couldn't work, tend to the house, or even speak coherently most of the time. We stepped up to the plate and tended to the farm despite being only 13 at the time.
