is that the moment you loose hope? but if you loose hope, who's going to feed your children?

Someone told me a story today about how her dad had been a gambler and a womanizer. At one point he had gambled and lost her mother's, his wife's, only pair of shoes. He came home and asked his wife to take off her shoes so he could give them to the new owner. So she took off her shoes and gave them to her husband. Then she hid her bare feet.
