     This lady has wrinkles for all her long years of being and mother and then becoming a grandma of more children that you could count on one hand. The bags under her eyes signify all the long nights she spent working overtime to pay for all her bills. She has worked more hours for her kids than anyone could even imagine. She worked her butt off for her entire like and now she can finally take a break in retirement. She spends her days watching The Price is Right and spoiling her grandchildren. Her floral shirt has gone through multiple years of thanksgiving in a people filled rooms with stomachs about to burst. She has worn her hair the same for who knows how long. Her hair is black and fluffy almost like the wool of a sheep but the color of coal. She wears curlers every morning just to get her hair to look like this. Her appearance shows all her hard work.
