I could only dream of having  a bite of something that smelled delicious. I was used to cold macaroni and cheese my siblings would leave for me, or I'd make frozen hamburger patties, fish sticks or even just a can of soup. ]]> 2018-05-07 15:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/OliviaW16/88kycu6i1qvw/wish/258580108 OliviaW16 https://padlet.com/OliviaW16/88kycu6i1qvw/wish/258921572 The day my mother walked me to kindergarten is one I will never ever forget.

I was able to hold him, brush his tears, and watch his first home run. This allowed for me to see that I was not the one who was cheated, but instead my mother. She was unable to share these moments due to rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis cheated her. ]]> 2018-05-08 14:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/OliviaW16/88kycu6i1qvw/wish/258929120
