Broken Marriage by Bobby Pearl

Bronze, 9" x 8" x 6"

"I got sick. I was bleeding and bleeding and it wouldn't stop. My head
hurt so much, I thought I was dying. A neighbor lady called the doctor, and
he came. He told Shimmon I had a fifty-fifty chance. He told Shimmon he
should buy a certain medicine. After the doctor left, Shimmon threw fifty
dollars at me, and said, 'So. go get medicine. Would another man do this?'
He meant would another man give so much money for his wife to get well.
So, when I was better, I took the five children, and we went away."
