“My biggest accomplishment is my family. Four sons and a daughter. But I feel like I have missed out on a lot of things. Didn’t get to know the world outside of my immediate family. My life has been an endless struggle to make ends meet and keep my children happy. Now that I am 70, there are certain things I want to do for myself, and places I want to visit before I die but my sons and their wives also have their own personal plans. So my situation is complicated.”
