The Last Call

For RDP Friday: TIMOROUS

Photographer Unknown

The last conversation I had with my Aunt took place a week or so before she died.
She told me, in that call ” don’t bother to have dreams, they never come true. Especially for people like us. “
I remember her voice was strong, clear and determined. She really  needed for me to understand ‘our’ place in the world before she left it.
I remember my answer.
My voice shook a little when I told her-
 ” Okay. “
