Feeding A Family
Patrick frequently skipped breakfast in order to make his $70 go as far as it could so that his family would have enough to eat. When you have four mouths to feed, $70 doesn’t go very far, and the Gibsons were barely scraping by after other household costs like diapers, vehicle payments, gas, and toiletries.
However, Patrick reasoned to himself that everything was all right. He was content with what he had. They’d find a way to make it work.
