She was thinking about Jacob a lot lately. She needed a friend, someone from past that knew her and loved her and recognized her repeated headaches and heartaches! But wasn't it right to just show up at the law firm and say that she wanted to see Jacob? She thought not. She read in the obituary of the news paper
about six months ago that Mrs. Holland, Jacob's mother- in- law had died of cancer. She hated to admit that one day Mr. Holland, Melisa's father would die, too, and law firm would be Jacob's and his wife's since their son had a life sentence in prison.
Helen thought that no one in this world had her problem! She looked back at her life. Since age eight, when her father had begun coming to her room, till now that she had passed age thirty, she did not remember a day that she was not afraid or unhappy or miserable! The only period that she had felt happiness was the short time that she had a relationship with Jacob!
Every person who would be abreast down to the last aspect with all the convolutions and adversities of unravelling them up, would be abnormal to herself, one never would assume other people were also surrounded by just as perplexing and arduous array of individual and secluded occurrence as hers!
When she worked as a teacher, it seemed as if an escape from this haunted life. She used to feel that without her teaching, life would be too gloomy and despondent! Now she felt that she needed to work so life might be uniformly and monotonously aglow!!!
