Hello @newbreed,
Reading about your relationship with your parents was pleasant. Also, the story about your mother, and the choice she gave you (marriage or school), showed good insight into her character.
However, we have issues with your piece. The greatest is that the third part does not seem connected to the first two parts. Why are you suddenly hungry? Why is there no food? Wasn't your father's business doing well?
Also, you use the term 'one faithful day'. You probably meant 'one fateful day'. This is a common mistake and we draw it to your attention so you will know how to use the phrase in the future.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
Thanks for the observation....
