My grandmother spent her whole life working as a maid, a cook and a babysitter, barely scraping by, but still working hard to give my mother, her only child, a chance in life, so that my mother could give my brother and me an even better one.
I really am profoundly grateful just in general in my life. I've had an embarrassing amount of good fortune.
