It has been an ache and a joy both to look over this big shoulder of mine at all my yesterdays.

My father came back one day and forced my mother to submit to him. He raped her, holding a knife.

Though I was a Catholic, I recognized that Protestant churches had something.

Asking what I considered an impossible salary when I didn't want to work for someone has boosted my pay again and again.

Today or any day that phone may ring and bring good news.

My whole family could sing. My family harmonized without any instruments to accompany them.

I dressed plain, but my partners were always spending more money on clothes than I could afford.
