As we get older we tend to reminisce on one’s life. Recalling sometimes the silliest of episodes.

Our lives, as we travel through those recollections, take on a more innocent tone the older we get. Events become cloudy, negative things glossed over, sanitised, or even deleted entirely from our memory banks while those warm, fuzzy memories take on more importance.

Some couples become closer. Others drift apart while others stay together because it is comfortable while others grow to hate one another.

An elderly woman has lived her life with all those memories intact. A loving, loyal, and responsible husband. A clutch of six children now successfully forging their own way in the world. A family … and a life to be proud of.

Is a close, loving family destroyed because of it? Or is there strength to overcome the shock of the revelation?
