My darling mother moved to New York at the age of 16, went to school in Islip then worked at Pilgrim State Hospital. At the age of 38 our family moved to Humacao, Puerto Rico where she obtained an Associated Degree in Gerontology.  She worked as a director at Hogar Ryder.  At the age of 52 she graduated with a Bachler's Degree in Nursing (RN) and had her own Senior Citizen facility,                   
Hogar Gladys, with about 14 patients at the high peek of the business. She was proud of the business.
I'm proud of you Mother.
