The hectic days of working at a black company… My only comfort is the morning conversations with Mary, the neighbor's wife. One day, I was so exhausted that not even this comfort could help. I dropped my house key. Seeing me in a panic, Mary offered to let me into her house for a while since her husband was out of town on business. Overwhelmed by Mary's kindness, I blurted out that I wanted to go back to being a baby. Seeing me so down, Mary gently hugged me and said, 'Why don't you think of me as your mom and lean on me?'
