but
i've
never

.
her

,
i
mean

appreciates
everything
she

.
and
she

almost
nothing
.
she
baked
for
us
.
three
times

did
that
while
the
bone
that
sits
below
her
tibia
and
fibula
screamed
at
her
. it'll
go
on
screaming
like
that
for
the
rest
of
her
life
.
then
she
drove
for
almost

hours
to
give
us
what
her

sugar
.
eating

felt
like
filling
up
with
life
.
