She told us that she was a mother of two; both of her kids were with her that evening. They were two of the cutest and sweetest kids out there. She said that she used to be married until the day came that she; coming home from work early found her recently ex-husband in bed with another women in their own house, while the kids were playing at the neighbors. She filed for divorce, and left with the kids. She shared that her income is only enough to pay for the rent and bills, leaving her with little for food and her kids.

I just hope things improve.” The family of resident Olive Bewick decided to move her to a different care home after she was found with bruising on her shins. Mrs Bewick had lived at Honeymead for five years until, over the last four months, her family became so concerned about her care that they complained to management. Her granddaughter Julie Ryall, 38, said: ‘We noticed things with her personal hygiene. Her nails were absolutely filthy, but she is either in bed or a wheelchair, so it’s not like she was doing gardening. “We also noticed dried food on her face where they had not washed it after meals.
Daphne had been written up and reported several times for having to leave the job to get to her kids for whatever reasons. Being recognized for the positive was something she lacked in her 17 years of licensure. Along with negative recognition and false accusations, Daphne began to feel unappreciated for her day to day work.

Even though she said her daughter never said anything to make her feel this way, she asked her family to help her move in somewhere where she can be with people her age. She says that she is still close with her children who come to see her very often. She has seven grandchildren between her three kids and they also come to visit quite a lot.
She was very private about her pregnancies. Before giving birth, she would say to Bessie and Sadie, “Now take the little ones…and don’t come back all day.” After the death of her husband Henry in 1928, Mama moved to New York with her daughters Sadie and Bessie. Bessie retired in 1950 in order to care for Mama, now frail but “still full of spunk, right up to the end” (Delany, Hearth 255). Mama died on June 2nd, 1956 at the age of 95.

She was the oldest out of eight siblings; she had both 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Due to the many siblings she had, she wasn’t able to attend college, thus being able to meet my grandfather Clearance in the year 1955. Together they had a total of six kids, in which my grandmother stayed home and cared for them, while my grandfather open and ran his own personal construction business. Much is to be said about my grandmother, but I could talk days on end about her. She is by far one of the most influential people in my life, her hard-work and optimism are just two of the things I admire most about her.

When I finished the sixth grade( which I shouldn’t of) I asked my grandparents if I could live with them. They were more then thrilled to have me. I then moved to Murray, Kentucky where I finished grade school, middle school and graduated from Murray High School.
