Meaning of Life: Family

How do you afford clothes, food, and a house on minimum wage? Unconditional love and stretching every penny to the fullest. I will not fully understand how my parents raised 7 children. My Dad worked minimum wage jobs for years and my Mom was a stay at home wife who babysat for every kid who had 9 to 5 working parents, cooked 3 meals a day and cleaned in between.  In spite of low paying dead end jobs, we were always fed plentiful, clothes and shoes always fit, and we always had a roof over our heads.  My parents succeeded where others fail; family inspired them to live a humble, happy, healthy and hard working life. I love my parents and I am eternally grateful for all of their sacrifices. They make me want to be a better person in life and respect everyone for who they are. I wish some day I could be like them, with some minor changes but like them nonetheless.
