In a discussion this morning with one of my daughters, and she said I was non-confrontational. I don’t confront people when they wrong me.

I lived in a nice spacious one-bedroom apartment with my two daughters who were kids. She was old and sick, and couldn’t work, so I put her up. His half-sister whom we grew up with, needed somewhere to stay, so I made room for them.

His mother died and everyone grew up.
