1409

November 29Th 1969 A Cold And Windy Night A Mother And Her Nine Months Old Son In Arms Walking To Find A Place To Call Home. Not Really Late Just Dusk Dark. Wanted To Get Back To My One Room That I Was Renting DidnT Want My Son To Get Too Cold. Holding Him And Talking He Was Smiling At Me. He Seems To Be Saying Mommy It Will Be Alright. I Had To Find A Home For Us. I Must Have Walked What Seems Like Miles But Really Only Four Blocks But They Were Long Blocks. I DidnT Really Know Which Way To Go Just Walking. God Must Have Heard My Prayers Or My SonS Smiles You Know God Watches Out For Fools And Babies. I Was Only Eighteen Myself And Had A Son He Was Just About A Year A Baby Raising A Baby. HeS Getting Cranky Now Wanting To Cry And Move All Around Dropping His Bottle On The Ground I Stopped To Pick It Up And Wipe It Off Looked Towards This Light That Was Very Bright Because Now It Getting Darker Outside. Where Is This Light Coming From I Can Really See 1409. My New Home A Large Sign Reading Apartment For Rent.
