How can the view of a person held up so high be degraded in just a matter of a few actions? Women have changed in the way they are perceived and the way they are being carried when compared to prior time periods.

what this meant. I simply thought that it meant my dad was going on a business trip or out of town for a vacation. It didn’t hit me as hard as it did years later. A couple years later my father told me that he had married a woman he met. Her name was Ebony.
