We were a couple of traumatized kids in North Texas. Our childhoods each had complex trauma. We met and held onto each other like two safety rafts in a stormy sea. After his arrest, we spent most of his 20 years incarcerated leading separate lives. We married when he paroled and had our youngest child the following year. He embraced my sons as his own.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Probably the first day I ever went over to his house by myself. At the age of 17 he had his own rent house, and he somewhat took care of his family financially, including his parents and his younger brother. He answered the door with the hair standing up on the back of his head. It was obvious he had just woken up. It was probably 10 o’clock in the morning on a Saturday. He was eating chili for breakfast. His independence and lack of concern for what other people thought impressed me.
What would you do with $20,000?Pay off debt, invest in our home, buy property for my nonprofit to get started building spaces for the homeless.
