A Mother’s Grievance
I reluctantly told one of my daughters that almost nothing is left of the money she monthly provided for my motherless grandchildren. It was as though I had to humble myself for an alms. And she chided me: “I just recently gave it to you.” I took care of them. Oh, and there was a lot so needed, not just food.
A mother could raise ten children even were she poor, but ten grown-up children couldn’t care for one old poor mother.
So she bitterly said.
