All Was Well

by OklahomaRose

Once upon a time in a brain far far away there lived a wonderful woman who was good and kind and loving.

She was a loving wife and mother. She took wonderful care of her husband and two lovely daughters. She cooked and cleaned and ran all of the household operations. And all was well with the world.

She was a Police Officer who loved her job with all of her heart and soul. She excelled at her job and took great pride in all that she did. And all was well with the world.

She was an outgoing, gregarious woman with lots of friends whom she could depend on. She went out and enjoyed her life. And all was well with the world.

But one day the brain started to misfire and malfunction. The marriage fell apart. The household fell to ruins. The children scattered to the wind. The job fell to the wayside. The friends were shut out.

And the world would never be the same again.
