Prompt #7 - What was your greatest loss? [Private]
My greatest loss?

I think my greatest loss would be the family I never had.

Not that I have problems with the one I ended up with; my aunt was a good soul with a firm hand and her husband was surprisingly kind. But it doesn't stop me from wondering what could've been if my mother had survived giving birth to me and my father had not lost his mind.

I know things would've turned out differently if it was so, but I don't know how it would be different. I half wish it would've been for the better, but who really knows in the grand scheme of things?

I suppose only God knows - I've never been one for divination and even so, how could a person scry for what could've been instead of what will be?
