It was made of yellow plastic, and we kept it on the floor in the kitchen, and that was what we used whenever we had to go to the bathroom. When it filled up, some brave soul would carry it outside, dig a hole, and empty it.” ]]> 2019-06-07 08:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366298632 387986 https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366299619 2019-06-07 08:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366299619 385226 https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366301243 I]]> 2019-06-07 08:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366301243 385226 https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366301246 "I knew dad would have hated that, spending his final moments in a hospital hooked up to machines.He'd have wanted to be out in the wild somewhere.

Jeanette knew better and she chose to leave. ]]> 2019-06-08 06:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366464914 387986 https://padlet.com/385226/oxzj8nldjdus/wish/366465029 This relates to the theme because Jeanette and her siblings had to use the restroom in a bucket and clean it every time they used it.
