Cleaning for Mom

One day I was home alone and did not have anything to do. My mom was out picking up my little brother from preschool, which usually takes her about 90 minutes.

Helping Out

The other day I was on duty in the lunchroom. To be honest, that is quite a hard job.

A Struggle

My mom and dad were going through a divorce and she was battling depression. I stood by her even though she was having a hard time. I also did my best when she turned to drugs and managed to even get her to stop for a while. Sadly, she died of an overdose. But I choose to remember the good...
