As the sole breadwinner, I’ve been carrying the responsibility of supporting my family while managing mountains of loans that began when my father passed away six months ago.
You'll get through it and I hope you will be eased from it. I had similar experience a while back that I couldn't afford those small joys in life. Even now, I still couldn't do them so like you, I had those cards, reminder of that moment. Still, when you feel gratitude, you can get through anything.
