After my dad walked out when I was born, my mother raised my sister and I on her own until we were 5 and 6 years old. No help. Three jobs. Too much pride to take welfare or anything like that. How she did it, I don't know....but it gives me all the respect in the world for her. We repaid her in our teenage years by giving her absolute hell while our step dad was on constant deployments for the military. She never gave up on us kids though.
She's loud, opinionated, and sometimes over steps her boundaries with my wife and kid, but I let her slide for all that she did.
And I forgot to buy her a ****ing card this year.
