Walking dead

The lady came today to meet Sheba at the clinic.

She was 21. She has been a widow for almost a year now. She came with her mother in law.

This lady is HIV positive. Her husband died of AIDS.

This lady married a decade ago.

You do the math at how young this lady was when she got married.

We sent a rocket to the moon today.

We still live in an age of darkness.

Both mother-in-law and daughter have the same common basic thought - what hope is there now that this young woman is a widow.
