ALMOST READY TO LEAVE

Time is flying by.  Everyday is a day closer to leaving this job that I have had for 37 years.  A job that took me to different places within Fresno County.  It all started for me long ago when I was young and eager to learn new skills.  Eager to help out my family financially.  My ex at the time would act like it was not a big deal.  Not me, I was so proud to work and to help out people.  I realized I have compassion for people in need.  It has been a rewarding job. 

When Jeannette was a teen she would come by during her lunch to ask me for money for McDonald's.  I would always make her happy.  She looked so pretty and had all her friends with her.  I could hear her say to them, "My mom never says no to me."

  1. Gloria, I remember going with Jeannette to visit you at the old Hospital by Roosevelt!!!! Her favorite word back then was "sprung"!! .....I remember one time on one of our visits to see you..the hall way was wet and Nettie didn't read the sign "wet floor" and she went sliding all the way down the hall laughing! I always remember that and her other favorit saying was "oh my god"!! We got a good laugh that day:)
