Continue Reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My father died when I was a toddler, so my mother, Janet, raised me alone. She was more than my mom. She was my safe place, my best friend, and the strongest person I had ever known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then cancer came and stole her from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still remember the last time we talked about my wedding. She was lying in a hospital bed, thinner than she should have been, but still smiling when I lifted my hand and showed her the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe proposed, Mom,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her eyes filled with tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, Keira. It\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI need you there,\u201d I said, breaking down. \u201cI can\u2019t do it without you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She reached for my hand with what little strength she had left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at me, sweetheart. I am not missing my only daughter\u2019s wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then she handed me a heavy silver photo frame from her bedside table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPut our picture in this,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd promise me that when you get married, you\u2019ll place it at the head table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three years later, when I finally married James, I kept that promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thriller, Crime &amp; Mystery Films<br>His mother, Carol, hated it from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the final venue walkthrough, she stared at the frame like it had personally offended her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s morbid,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not morbid,\u201d I replied. \u201cIt\u2019s my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carol gave a tight smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA wedding is for the living, dear. Not for dead people staring at guests while they eat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James sighed. \u201cMom, stop. It matters to Keira.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Carol didn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She complained about the \u201caesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She called it tacky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said my mother \u201cwouldn\u2019t know the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every word felt like a tiny blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, James insisted the frame stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the wedding day, the photo sat exactly where I had promised it would, beside my bouquet at the head table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a while, I let myself believe everything would be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Carol approached with a champagne glass in her hand and that cold little smile on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell,\u201d she said loudly, \u201cisn\u2019t this a cheerful centerpiece for a wedding?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMom,\u201d James warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m only thinking of the guests.

We went to high school together. You bullied me for years. You mocked me, humiliated me, and once destroyed my final art project in front of the entire class.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gasps spread through the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carol shook her head wildly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s lying!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mom\u2019s voice carried on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI never told Keira because I didn\u2019t want to poison her happiness.
