I just live one day at a time. As the days go by, the years build up.

My mother died young. A lot of people wanted us to be adopted out, but before she died, my mother asked Dad to please keep the children together. He did.

I was a very young widow. I’ve been by myself for almost 50 years.

I worked very hard. Just look at my hands. I’m proof that it isn’t work that kills you.
