“We are all mothers”
A friend who was once homeless sends me this memory:
When my older daughter was little and my younger one was a baby, we went to the Haitian office on Lunt when other food pantries would not help us. They were only supposed to give assistance to Haitians. The old lady took one look at us and gave us diapers, formula, and food, and offered me money as well (which I did not take). She said we are all mothers. I have never forgotten her kindness.
