I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I donโt have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me. But when the morning comes, I realize that thereโs nothing to be done about what has already happened. I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.
