Can I go back to my mom again? Yeah, of course. I mean, both my parents. Like I look at this combination of my parents, of the things I say I don't want to throw away with what happened to me.

But I didn't know that people didn't always have a grandmother who worked all the time and followed her around to hear about the businesses she was building and the needs she was filling.
