  <title>Comments on 'The Irony of it All'</title>
  <subtitle>&amp;quot;And that's why my boy Alex is so special to me now. He's 
so special because he almost never was at all. I was a 15 
year old girl when I found out I was pregnant.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;So what was it like? What did you feel?&amp;quot; Phaedra asked.
 
&amp;quot;I hated him then. I hated that my life would change. The irony of it all is that I hated how he would change my life and that's why I love him so much today. If it wasn't for your Dad, I wouldn't have you, T-key, and Mike. You know you're my favorite though, P.&amp;quot; Grandma Charcy winked at Phaedra as she lay on the hospice provided bed.

&amp;quot;Grandma, does Daddy know that?&amp;quot; Phaedra asked.

&amp;quot;My life is an open book, P. All of the hard times we been through... I can just look him in the eyes an I know he feels it too. I'm 80 years old today. It was enough. How many people get to live for 80 years?&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;But Grandma Charcy, we still need you!&amp;quot; 

&amp;quot;Love never dies, P. It's forever. They got me set up at home so I can be with family. When my time comes, I'll be with family. That's all I ever wanted.&amp;quot;</subtitle>
