Love Just Isn't A Strong Enough Word for the Barton's
When she finally had a chance to retire, she opted to buy an even bigger house so that "her grandchildren could always have a place to play". That sort of love is an inspiration beyond career accomplishments. And perhaps the greatest inspiration is seeing how much she loves her grandchildren and they love her back. She puts everyone before herself and takes pleasure in the love she gets back.

No doubt she earned Sainthood raising seven crazy kids, me being the youngest. From a purely financial perspective we were dirt poor. As kids, we had no idea. We just assumed everyone didn’t have a phone or clothes dryer, went hungry, wore hand me downs, and used the oven as a heater in the winter whenever utilities were shut off. Necessity is the mother of all invention.
