If these walls could talk

Roger heard his mother Sarah, calling from the cellar. "Please come quick", Sarah yelled, for his father Dennis, was laying on the floor holding his chest. Thoughts of his father dying made him realize how critical time is, so he desperately told his mother to call the paramedics as he held his father's hand. They rushed Dennis off to St. Thomas' hospital  where he later died from a massive heart attack.

Dennis served  in the Army as a Black Ops specialist. Roger  recalled  his dad being gone away from home for months, that seemed like years to two young siblings.  Standing in his mother doorway he vividly  recalled his  horrible childhood memory which appeared to him like yesterday .   

                     

He remembered the  thought of his mother 's drinking  heavily that one night she literally destroyed their house by breaking out all the windows, turning over multiple tables and chairs and screaming using profanity as he  and his  sister, Kimmy held each other tight. Suddenly out of  nowhere, they  saw  her with Dad's old gun in her hands aiming it at them before she turned it on herself and accidentally shot herself in the chest. 


''We were only small children at the time, as we ran over to the neighbors house for help ''.

She recovered  from her fatal wound and announced to Kimmy and myself by saying ,"You kids have it easy. I was raped and sodomized by  my father and two brothers . I have three kids, one for each  of them . The children were taken away by my grandmother and I never saw them  again!. I never wanted to marry and have any children. I hate you all ."

 Roger stood there in shock for he knew his mother was telling the truth by the penetrating look in her eyes.  ''Kids by my grandfather and Uncles?'', Roger asked  his mother , he continued ''I tried to understand but the pain you inflicted on me and my sister were too deep to ever forgive you''.  Roger was shaking his head in despair to think that his uncles and grandfather could do such horrible things to his  mother. ''This is the worst sin ever",Roger replied Sarah".

''Kimmy and I finally left home and graduated with honors from Lincoln University. While my mother is undergoing psychiatric treatment. My grandmother, Rose came to visit me at home one day after twenty -two years had passed with a letter in her hand that read Please forgive me for all the wrong I have cause in your life and my daughter's life. I have lived in shame for so long . The three Professors at Lincoln University that you and your sister attended are my daughter's three children I took from her when she was fifteen years old. They are your brothers.
