Books were her retreat, and she understood how important they were to a curious, often lonely kid.

Once we all got older, I remember her telling us kids something like, "I never really felt like I was helping you guys. I just listened. And I wouldn't say anything. Eventually you'd talk enough that you'd figure out your problem on your own."

On paper. With my brain.

She would take the calculator away and say, “What are you going to do when the batteries run out?”

Fast forward to senior year and I’m taking the ACT exam. Get to the math section and pull out my TI-83 Plus. It says “Recommend change of batteries, and shuts off.

I asked the proctor for some scratch paper and still did well!
