Everyone has a limit to their tolerance level. How much can one person take? or can you take any at all. What is a deal breaker for you. In some marriages the deal breaker is infidelty for others it's physical abuse. For Sylvia in today's story she had little patience for violence. Sylvia was a unique young woman. You meet her and just realize she was a rare type that don't come to earth often. As opposed to most women in her time that were timid,shy and dependant upon their men folk, Sylvia was independent. She was a charmer, undeniably. She had really long dark hair and her skin was light in complexion, something that was uncommon in her parts at that time,had intriguing eyes, mesmerizing smile but most importantly she was innately intelligent. Sylvia did so well in her academics that she had a scholarship. Before high School, suitors started coming,it was a common thing then.

A baby born with a coil in his hand Growing up I read and heard so many ridiculous and not entirely true stories of babies born with several marks on them,the legendary 666 mark, a saviour's name of their feet and what not,this story is completely different.

At what time do you realise you really know someone. Like really know, know what they are capable of and their true character? I think it's when an allegation is made against them. For some people when an allegation is made against someone they know ,they impulsively say "That's not true, that's not possible". For other people they would pause,hesitate and then say "Are you sure". This story is really about a woman and her children. Usually a mother trusts her children over anyone else.
