| On weekends, Mom would try to spend as much time with me as she could. | 
|
| She'd leave early for work, so I went to my grandmother's until school began. | 
|
| At the end of the school day, Grandma would pick me up from school. | 
|
| When I was five, my father passed away. | 
|
| My mother had to work very hard to keep food on the table. | 
|
| Mom would come home for dinner, and then work an evening job. |
