Kristine20Kathryn20Rusch20-20Her20Mothers20Secrets.html2012-10-13 12:06:05Her Mothers Secretsby Kristine Kathryn RuschViolet had one year of pretty in her life -- 1976 -- and at the time she had been tooconcerned about her weight to notice. She remembered vividly obsessing about her fatthighs. She was so obsessed in fact that she never wore shorts or miniskirts eventhough she weighed 115 pounds and had at that point thighs six inches in diameter.She discovered her year of pretty twenty-one years later when she was going through oldphotographs in her mothers house preparing it for sale. Her mother had died ofpneumonia two days before and left Violet the task of dealing with everything the estatethe house and the daily phone calls from her mothers friends asking for a memorialservice. Her mother had expressly asked for a conventional funeral and Violet had had toexplain that wish again and again.The pictures were a revelation. She sat on the middle of her mothers floor boxes strewnaround the orange shag carpet her grandmothers rocking chair a hands reach from herside. The television was off unusual for that time of day in that house and she hadchanged the radio station from her mothers soft jazz station to the towns only oldiesstation. The music somehow added to the memories made them jar against the images infront of her.She remembered that time so well feeling gangly and dumpy and flawed. Sheremembered using Noxema at night and Stridex in the morning remembered hours infront of the beveled mirror in the bathroom playing with her hair remembered shunningmakeup because she was too terrified shed put it on wrong.The photographs said she hadnt needed makeup. The girl that looked back at her was notthe one she remembered. This girl was slender with dark brown hair in a stylish cut cleargray eyes and a skin that appeared flawless.Not like she remembered.None of it was as she remembered.None of it at all. The pretty had left her in 1977. Her boyfriend Skeeter Jackson had been holding a gun.It went off. The bullet hit Violet on the right side of her face missing the brain
