My baby and happily ever after...

My baby did not make it. It came out prematurely stillborn. As if this wasn't sad enough, my dad died soon after in a workhouse. Then it was just me and mother, and we moved to the edge of town.
So, in the end it all came down to one conclusion. I was endeed loved, but "Love is only as good as it's lover".
"Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe." p.206
