depression. She also made sure we ate before she did

when we were going through a very hard time in life it was
kinda hard for her being a single mother with 3 boys. But
she always found a way to get through it and she found a
way to get us out of the bad situation even if it meant she
had to get in trouble she always did everything for me and
my little brothers to make sure we were good. That is why I
call her the woman who saved my life because not only she
made sure me and my brothers were good she was going
through a very hard time but she couldn’t stop being a
mother. My mom is now in a relationship with D’vaughn
Mcgill (My step-dad) the guy in the photo, she is now happy
in life she’s gotten out of a very bad situation and have 3
smart boys and they are all in sports, and she has a great
job that she loves orking at now.
