The Surveillance

EVO

"Evo, she is your real mother."

My dad and I were standing in front of the urn jars. Beautiful pictures were carefully etched on the backs of each urn jar. As soon as I looked at one particular image, I knew it. It was a picture of my beloved grandparents, who were my parents and greatly impacted my life. But there were two adults beside them, whose names I couldn't make out, and a single woman Bella had seen in a vision finished the scene.

When you look at the back of the urn jar, a large picture of a woman with a bright smile immediately draws your attention. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you, but I didn't want to change how you feel about your Mommy Mildred."

"You won't tell me anything about him, will you?"

Dad didn't say anything. I don't know if his silence meant he didn't want me to discover the truth or if it was just an accident.

"That's why Mom Mildred can't love me and why it's so hard for her to accept me: she's not my real mother."
