The people who loved  her so very much--The center of our lives.

We were poor growin-up, but, actually we didn't realize that we were poor. Georgia Lee was a woman that expected the truth from everyone who spent time with her. Her fiavorite saying was " Can I tell you something ?" It didn't matter what your answer was, she was going to tell exactly what she thought you. She, for the most part, was a stay at home mom and wife. Her children always came first and she demanded that we all get an education. She meant just that. I remember  when I was sixteen, I decided to quit school. That was a big mistake, she didn't like that idea. But she didn't yell or scream; she said" well, if that is what you want to do, then I have a deal for you. Georgia Lee always had some kind of plan. This plan, she knew, would solve her problem because she knew me very well.  She presented it in a very stern voice. " Okay, I'll get a job and you, Elma, will stay home (1) do all the house work--the washing, ironing, mopping, babysit, and worse of all, to my dread--You will cook three times a day-three full meals. All of this was too much for my system to comprehend. I almost fainted. Needless to say, I spent many years in school and dropping out was never spoken of again.
