Chapter 9

• Finja Longarm
• I had been sick for seventeen days straight. Today is the first day I had enough energy to move past the front door. My little girl had begged me to take her to the park for a bit to play with the other children.
• At least the sun was shining as I watched my daughter playing with the other children at the park. Thankfully the children were open minded and not judgemental. As the children played, the other caregivers glared at me with disgust. I would have thought that after all this time, they would shift their nose into someone else’s personal affairs or even better look after their own problems. Yet things have not changed for me since I started bringing Fiathuen here.
