She stopped rocking and she said, Let me tell you something young man, as long as you in this house there is always room for one more don’t you ever let me hear you say anything like that again. That story sums Mama up because her life was about her investment in children, her own and the ones she assisted into the world. That’s when I realized that she wasn’t just thinking about her children. I was only thinking about her children. She knew how many children she
