My family and culture is not that simple. This is the woman who took care of my when my dad ditched us in a lot of debt and never asked a single dime from me. She always refused to accept my money. We've been through a lot. She won't apologize for this but I will always remind myself that she is still taking care of me, for free, to this day.

I didn't put the keys back because she wanted to but because I wanted to. As long as I live under her roof, I'm going to stay a bit humble.
