Wow your mom sounds like the kind of people who made the country what it is.
Sometimes it seems like a lot of the older people(I recall 70 not too many years ago)are carrying a lot of the load in the business world.
Some of the best employees I have had were and are older. There are some really good younger ones as well.
It took me forever go get to where I could do more with the business,get a little creative and all. So I’m in no hurry to give it all up.
It was my grandmother. She raised 3 kids during the great depression, and her husband deserted her and the kids. She worked for others initially. And everyone laid odds that she would fail when she went out on her own — they were wrong.
