He went to the young woman's home and told her family.

She and her mother still talk on the phone several times a week.

She no longer works and her money has run out.

They told her the building was back on the market.

She is not sure what the students may want from her.

So why did she not simply get in her car and leave?

Then she got a call from her son last summer.

The story has been told before, but not from her point of view.

After a while, they put her down and move away for a talk.

My wife was one of five kids, and her parents worked too.

She just gave one to her son, who is 10 years old.

He only let her leave the house with him, she said.

Did she not want children, and a house of her own?

A young woman behind my wife asked her if she needed help.

Their plan was for her to stop working once they had children.

And just maybe he's not so over her after all.

She needs the money for food and to help her children.

The land was lost to her family 67 years ago.

I told her to just be still, help was on the way.

I want to be here for her through good times and bad.

The move to California will be her last, she said.

Some told her they needed to get to class, she said.

They live with her mother who does not have a car, she said.

He was the last person they know who saw her.

But I got a call from her a week later.
