dad died at very young age.
We had to move into government housing (AKA the projects) and our mom went to work. It wasn't easy, but we got by.
I will never forget the look on our mom's face when I graduated college. All the sacrifices were realized when my name was called to come and get my diploma.
Our mom was an incredibly strong and determined woman who would direct our formative years under great stress.
She always told us that a liar is worse than a thief because liars always have to invent new lies to cover the old ones. If Trump was raised by our mom the world would be more civilized and less predatory. Too bad he was raised by jackals and rabid hyenas.
