To The Editor:
I read with interest comments made by the spouter concerning the woman who had to push a grocery cart up the street, and had tires hanging from her porch. The spouter suggested people be kind and offer to help and not subject her to ridicule.
There was a time in my life when I pushed a grocery cart up the street and took laundry on the bus to get to the washateria. It was the only way I could feed my children and provide them with clean clothes for school. Both endeavors were honorable.
I remember feeling embarrassed as well as feeling shame wondering what my neighbors would think. I lived in an apartment over a store in an upscale neighborhood. I didn’t think they would understand.
I have been blessed with a profession that has allowed me to make a six-figure salary, and I no longer have to push that cart or take the bus.
Every time I see a lady pushing a grocery cart, I remember those days and I am humbled all over again. That experience made me a far kinder person. The “Grocery Cart” was really a blessing.
