Still Trying To Get Home Pt2

continued from Pt1     
      
        My knocks were answered by an old woman in a housedress.
As I begin to explain, I felt the chill of the rain.  I expected this woman to tell me I was 
insane.  But I noticed pain in her eyes, then the tears.  I wanted to disappear.  Her words 
would forever change my outlook on the things of this world.
       She said "You're not the first, nor will you be the last to bring home my baby girl!"
