My father died when I was 10. I was the second to the youngest of 5 children. Times were lean. They really, truly were. We pulled together as a unit. My father's only family were back in the old country, those that weren't killed by Nazis. On my mother's side, her brothers and sisters closed the door to offering to help her. I remember some of them saying, "She'll be coming to us asking for help", but she never ever did, not once. I remember for instance, a Christmas dinner of macaroni and cheese with a can of tuna mixed in, but that wasn't bad and there were folks that had and still have less, much less. For the most part, Mom was the best father I pretty much never had, and God didn't she try.
These days, I'm in my 50's and hardly doing bad. I'm doing so well that I'm even fat. Mom is in her upper '70's and taken care of for the most part. In my lifetime, God willing, Mom will always be taken care of. I know what tough times were like. Mom grew up in the Depression, so she really knows what tough times were like, and then one day to lose her husband and most everything else, if God willing, she will never have to go through any of that anymore. There aint no slimeball politician local, state, or DC that can tell me squat about anything that I need or don't need. Not one of them, ever. Never asked one for help, never will, don't need or want their kind of help, never ever.
