A Mother of Two

A Mother of two was interviewed today. She resides above a Chinese Restaurant, in a small one room cockroach infested apartment. Her daughters age 3 and 3 months, sleep amongst it. She is waiting for housing for her and her two girls.

This is not quoted from the newspaper article written in 1985, but it is to the best of my memory the only article that exists what carries my name. I am the youngest daughter, of the Mother who was somehow brought to raise me in a home like the above. This is heart breaking, and terrible. I am grateful I have no memory of these days however, the dwelling didn't stop there. I proceeded to move many many times after that and through out the rest of my life. I can recollect 14 public schools and I quit by grade 10 after 3 middle high schools, and 2 high schools.

I continue my Mothers habit today, moving with my own children often. We have been here for almost 3 years now. It is home, and I am finally going to make it one. I can no longer consider my address just a temporary home.
