2. Before You Go Forward You Must Look Back My mother was 33 when she died, she left my brother and I when I was 13. When I look back I remember all the fun times we had, and the nice things we had. My mother did anything and everything to get what my brother and I needed and wanted, even though it sent my father into bankruptcy after her death. After we lost almost everything she got us, I looked forward to my future, where I can get myself the things I need, and want. I want to make my mom proud with my decisions of the future, and for whom I become. Lisa Marie Stanford
