I looked up with my eyes stained with tears. "I hope you are in no hurry." Aunt Patricia smiled and sighed. "I am afraid that time is of the essence my dear niece." I looked at her curiously. "What do you mean Aunt Patricia?" "Besides wanting your mother back with us, I also want to ask her something." Aunt Patricia said. "She has…-
