In my 16 & emancipated post I eluded to 'mom' and the girls...
"Lasted with a patient uncle for a few months, and then I moved out at 15 with a wonderful lady and her daughter. That too lasted a few months, and I was too big for my britches."
This wonderful woman took me in and became "mom" forever more, and the girls my sisters. While I only actually lived with her during that critical year from 15 to 16, they are family, and where my holidays are spent.
