She has been so resilient. She has stuck with me
through the times when I was homeless, living in my car,
and this was when she was in high school. I
have two older daughters and then I have a set
of twins that are thirteen. And I was an abusive
relationship and I had nowhere to go and I was
(00:44):
also working.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So what she decided to do was she told me, say.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It to the mom. I want to stay with you,
and I'll just stick it out with you. She also
works with children, and she's a medical assistant. And you know,
I could ask for a better daughter. I couldn't ask
for a better companion. And you know, I'm sorry we didn't.

check on grandma, we need to go check on grandpa.
We need to see how her and her cousin's doing.
We know and her dad, And she's just that type
of daughter. The oldest at the time got accepted to college,
and so she went off to college and she graduated.

Meanwhile, Keemana sacrificed everything just because she didn't want to
leave me alone when my twins were very young.

And wow, you know, she lived in the car with me.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And she went and got went to school every morning.

was slow in her career choices, and she's just as
she acts as if nothing has fased her.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And I just am so proud of her. I don't
know what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You often think about you know, most people think of
children relying on their parents, their parents becoming their rock.

the solid person in your life for a lot of
years and continues to be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yes, yes, she still is to this day.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You always check on me, and I'm in college now
and making a better life for myself, and you know,
I don't think I could have made it out of
that situation without her.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, that says a lot. Yeah, Dana, how old is Kamana?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
She is twenty seventh? Wow, twenty seven right now?

her face the whole time has been the most motivating
(04:16):
