Chapter Thirty-One
I learned to live for my family. They were important to me.
I didn’t want to break their hearts. I knew the great, terrible agony they would feel...
Eventually, after some time, a dim inner light started to break through the darkness inside me.
It started to shine a little. Just a little. But at least it did shine.
I even started to enjoy the simple things in life a little again. Just a little.
But, the darkness inside me never disappeared—it was always there, lurking.
