A mother's love

Jordan was sleeping soundly in her bed and she heard the familiar commotion of her mother coming home from the bar. You would think that after years of having to hear this woman obnoxiously make her presence known, every Friday night, to her sleeping children Jordan would become more of a heavy sleeper. However, nowadays her slumber was often cut short by either her mother coming into the house or her sister waking her up to complain about their mother’s loud arrival. Today she was not only awakened from the sound of her mother stomping through the front door but also her murmuring obscenities to herself and slamming cupboard doors searching for alcohol.
