Featured Monologue – Another Bit of Light
LISA: Kids are very impressionable. When I was little, I remember the smallest thing. Maybe I was extra emotional or sensitive, but whenever something serious took place in my home, I remembered every detail.
For instance, when my momma received the phone call that my grandfather died, we were in the kitchen; we were in the middle of eating dinner, and when she heard the news, she leaned up against the kitchen counter, right in front of the sink, and her whole body slumped over in sadness.
I went over to her an’ pulled on her dress, and she rubbed my head and smiled and somehow I felt like I shouldn’t worry as much, but later on I understood what she must have felt and how strong she was to keep it all from me in that moment of shock.
I guess what I learned from her was how not to show pain.
