I'm thinking about my mom.

She did not plan well for old age and so she's essentially lived off Social Security and help from my siblings and I. One of my brothers died two years ago. My dad died earlier this year. She became homeless a year ago, but is living with one of my sisters. She's driving for DoorDash every day in a car I lent her two and a half years ago.

But she's very close to finally getting a very nice apartment in a senior community subsidized by my tax dollars through the state, and I'm very excited for her to have her own clean, quiet place to just exist.
