Tuesday night...another late night from work, and I'm just feeling grateful to be relaxing on the couch.  Until my eyes caught the sight of the old step ladder in the corner of my apartment.  It shows its wear with its brassiness covered by paint.  It was gifted to me by my Mom who is always there when I need some support and guidance.  She has given me so much as I rebuild my life, and this ladder is just one reminder of that.  Not everyone is as lucky as me to have that, and I will always grateful for her.
