"As far as her mom was concerned, tea fixed everything.
Have a cold? Have some tea. Broken bones?
There's a tea for that too.
Somewhere in her mother's pantry, Laural suspected,
was a box of tea that said, 'In case of Armageddon,
steep three to five minutes."
- Aprilynne Pike, Illusions
One month before
My sixth birthday,
Sitting beside my mother
On an airplane,
Late at night.
Flying
To Canada!
A new life for our family.
Exciting!
An adventure!
My mother, bent over, crying,
Her tears confused me.
Flight attendants hovered.
I asked her
If she wanted a cup of tea.
