about her forgiveness. She had taken care of all of us for so long, feeding us, sharing everything she had, giving us vehicles and furniture and love that ignored how much we took, how little we gave. She forgave us for not calling as often as we should have, for not visiting as often as we should have, for using her savings to buy drugs or pay the rent because we had used our own money for drugs. She forgave us for not going to church, and she prayed for us each night and cried every Sunday.
