I am a loving caring mother, daughter and friend.  I try to show my son that it is how you treat people that matters.  In 30 years no one will remember what you wore but they will remember how you made the feel.  I am doing my best, I have been independant for a very long time, but there sometimes comes a moment when you have to ask for help.  I need help, I have tried to do so much for my son and I.  We live on bare minimums, but it seems like life is throwing us some curveballs and I dont know how I can get things taken care of. I plan on going back to college once I get my past student loans taken care of ( they are included in the 5000 dollars of debt).  I have been told it is not that bad, but then again, there are times where if I have $0.50 I feel rich.

I would love to be able to get a second job to help, but at this moment I never know when I will be leaving work and even then I help take care of my mother and my father. My mother has been disabled for 4 years and my father had a stroke 2 years ago. It has been a hard road watching them, they want to know I will be ok. I only hope someday they can be at peace knowing I am.
