“He had twelve kids so he had to figure out how to feed them. He knew how to get out and make a buck. He felt crippled by the fact that he couldn’t read and write.  

“It used to break my heart that he felt ashamed that he couldn’t read or write. I told Daddy, ‘You’d be shocked to know how many millions of people in this world can’t read or write’.  

“I tried to make him feel as good about that as I could.”
