This story is an interview that a daughter does with her mother. She talks about how just 13 years ago (from the day of the interview) the mother, Doris Cohen, lost her husband and three years ago (from the day of the interview) she was diagnosed with breast cancer. When the daughter, Lisa Cohen, starts to talk about this you can hear her voice quiver and shake. It makes you feel how much these events really affected her even though it all directly happened to her mom.
Further into the interview we learned that the father/husband took his own life. At this point Doris starts to cry and says, "It made us feel that, maybe he didn't love us as much as he loved him. But I've come to understand that, people who kill themselves always think that their loved ones will be better off without them..."
I really enjoyed the story because you could really feel all of the emotion. You could really tell when they were sad or happy by the tone of their voices. It made me start to cry which I really ejoyed. I love reading and listening to stories that I, personally, can really connect with. It almost makes me feel like I am part of the story.
