My hope is too retire with a few dollars in my pocket. I know my mom is looking down on us all and I hope with a smile on her face and hope she is proud of all her children

My mom, she left us all when we where all to young. Brother 14, sister 17 and myself at 25. Our entire world fell apart, she was the glue for our family. I tried taking on that role but being so young and having a daughter myself and a very new baby. I was not all ways available for my younger siblings. Our mom was kind and generous and thoughtful. December is all ways tough for me as our mom died dec 14 and my father on the 17 of December. My dad’s birthday is the 22 of Dec and my mom’s 28. It’s an emotional rollercoaster for us all. My father is different from my siblings father he is still alive. I hit rock bottom in 2009 almost destroyed myself In the process. Almost drank myself to death. Jumping ahead I am now 58 have a great relationship with my kids and the opportunity of a life time to purchase a franchise(with help)and end my work life on a high note.
