HERALD

For most unfortunate or tragic events,you usually hear the person say, somehow they knew it will happen, they felt it. In some cases a week before these events the person feels far from normal, they suspect something is wrong, experience foreboding. For a few others they feel nothing at all,no herald whatsoever,they feel good and fine, life is going well,then bang!!! Something bad happens,it is as jarring and shocking as a loud noise at night.

It is shocking to most people,they cannot comprehend a child being a bride, how little are these girls? Early teens? the one in today's story was two. She was two years old. Somewhere in the south a woman had  difficulty in child bearing, well over eighty years ago now. Her position as first wife was being threatened. Soon her husband took another wife when he could no longer tolerate the pressure from his family to take another wife. Luckily though, that same month this first wife Mirabel concieved. She had a boy,and in the next few years she had more children in quick succession. Everythig was fine,her in-laws treated her with more respect now and her husband laughed with her as often as he did in the first year of their marriage. Nevertheless Mirabel was still not content,if anything she ...
