I thought the story of Mary is a very relatable story for most single mothers out there. It makes the reader realize points like how a situation sometimes leaves a person with no other choice but the lesser evil, that mothers will always persevere and sacrifice for the sake of the children, that children sometimes have to be parents themselves before they can truly understand how it is to raise a child. This story clearly tells us all how to be grateful and appreciative for everything that was given to us for we dont know what our parents had to give up for us to have a life much better than theirs❤
