To be frank, most men would not find her attractive. I should mention that my mom was not the most physically alluring woman in the world. Little did I know that one night, I was going to help out my mom out in another very different and memorable way. I tried to help out as much as possible with everyday stuff like cooking meals, doing the laundry, and cleaning the house. I loved my mom so much and hated to see her hurting. I remember several nights when I’d be lying in bed and could hear her cry herself to sleep. My father died about five years earlier in a work accident.Įver since, my mom had been pretty depressed, she’d never really gotten over my dad’s death.
