You see, my mom, in her steady, quiet way, lived out that striving sense of hope every single day of her life. She believed that all children, all – all people have value; that anyone can succeed if given the opportunity. She and my father did not aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed. They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning.
