That's so true, Nancy! You have to do the work and can't expect others to do it for you. We were lucky because our neighborhood didn't start to turn bad until around 1985 and then it continued its decline for the next twenty years. My parents got out in 2003 and moved to Florida. It's sad to go back now and drive through the old neighborhood. So many memories! I'm very glad to hear your parents watched out for you. Your love of reading and education probably helped too. That had to be stressful to see so many of your friends go down the wrong path. It's insane for me to think of how many people I grew up with are gone now. Thank you and I hope the week is going well for you my friend!
