Mother’s Comeback 

Chapter

It was Dad’s birthday. He was blowing out the 

candles, making a wish, when Mom leaned in 

and whispered something in his ear

My dad, Mr. SafetyFirst, the guy who wore

helmet to mow the lawn, justlost it

He walked straight to the window and 

jumped

After he was gone, everyone was all over 

Mom, practically begging her to tell them 

what she said

I heard some real estate agent even offered 

her a million bucks, just to know those words

Mom clammed up tighter than a drum

She didn’t say a word

Then, on my wedding day, she shows up

And whispers that same sentence to my 

fiancé, Mark… 

  1. 1

After Dad died, Mom was suddenly infamous

He was so scared of everything

So, for him to justoff himself, it had to be 

because of whatever Mom said to him

People were crawling out of the woodwork

wanting to know what the magic sentence 

was

Some snooty rich lady whose husband was 

cheating even offered Mom a cool million, just 

to get her hands on that deadly line

Mom wasn’t biting

Not even when the cops grilled her

She just stared at the floor and kept her 

mouth shut

They ended up slapping her with

manslaughter charge and tossed her in the 

slammer for three years

After the funeral, I went to see her. I was so 

confused. Mom,I asked, what did you say 

to him? Why would he do that?” 

We were separated by thick glass, but Mom’s 

face was like stone

He didn’t want to live anymore,she said

What’s that got to do with me?” 

Her being so calm and cold just made my 

heart ache

Dad freaked out if he got a paper cut,I told 

her. He’d be rushing to the emergency room

worried about blood poisoning

His birthday wish every year was to live to be 

a hundred and see me get married and have 

grandkids

Why would he suddenly want to die?” 

I was hurting, so confused

My dad was a good man

He loved Mom, they were always happy 

together

Why would she say something to push him 

over the edge

What were those words

Mom just stared at me, that look in her eyes

Don’t ask,she said finally. Knowing too much won’t do you any good.”
