she never felt loved
Shelly did not live long
Two years four months and six days
She was sickly
Her parents were angry with her
They had astronomical hospital bills
And mountains of resentment
They both told her they wished she had died
She never felt loved
It was not a life she would have chosen
She never knew her grandparents
The best two days of her life were in the hospital
After her kidney surgery
Before her parents both told her "I wish you had died"
