Lina is a member of my husband’s family. She is not a blood relative, but she has been an integral part of the family for the past 45 years. She was the cleaning lady, but at her age and after a double bypass, she’s not up to more than washing the dishes. And she only does that because otherwise she might feel like she wasn’t being “useful.”
