It was really hard and this really did happen all within a few months of each. The son and daughter were maybe two or three months apart. I couldn't believe it and after it was over she did tell me how much I helped because I sent her groceries, liquor, household stuff, and I cooked, but I was trying to help because that was a lot to deal with. At least that's what I thought.

When a relative of mine died, I can remember our family beautician came over and did all of the kids hair, cut all of the men's hair; she would work during the day and then come to the house when she got off and that's all she did was hair for about a week.

People help the best way they can or the only way they can. Know what I mean?

Yes I do and in the end kindness (whichever way you want to give is right for you)is what matters.
