Excerpt
After my parents' divorce, times were tough. My mom had to work to make ends meet, especially because the support check was not always on time. My brother, sister, and I had the utmost respect for our mom. She taught us how to be happy and not to take what we had for granted. My mom gave us a roof over our heads, shirts on our backs, and toys to play with. As far as we were concerned, we had it made. She was a stickler about minding our manners and being responsible for our actions. We followed her rules; if we did not, then we would have to deal with the consequences of our actions. No matter how busy or hectic my mom's life became, she always had time for her kids. My mom also never breathed a demeaning word about my dad, even though they were divorced. She let us judge our dad for ourselves.
