her strength was undeniable. Rosie, a rebel β mother of a 10 year old boy, who was obsessed with Hitler.. she always did her best to teach him manners, to give him small glimpses of what's right, without sounding like she hated her country, hated the war β because that's the exactly how she felt.
she often went out to distribute 'stop war' folders, she helped jews β all in extreme secrecy. basically, she put up a facade for everyone. that was the only way to survive. but one day, she met another woman. one she barely glanced at β and in a heartbeat, she learned she could love again. in her head, after the death of her late husband Erich, her heart would never heal. it wasn't simple.. but it is was starting to happen.
after tucking Jojo in, in this specific day, she felt especially tired β your absence just made it worse. she walked to the bathroom, prepared herself a warm bath and stayed there.. the steam helped soothing her soreness. she shed tears. she felt weary and broken.
