Wow! Thanks for that inspiring bit of personal history. Your mom is an inspiration to us all (I hope).
Well written!
"I get a chill whenever I drive past the bus stop where we sat while my mother tried to figure out what we were going to do."
That sentence stopped me cold... I had to turn away for a moment. I saw the scene all too clearly. How terrifying. I've never been that desperate in my life and it's hard to imagine not crumpling under the stress.
Here's to your mom!
