I was the overnight janitor in the Emergency Room for 4 years. My oldest of 3 were no older than 5 or 6 when I started. A young mom should not work overnights, but those bills didn't stop.

Few pay tribute to him. There are many types of heroes!

I was the overnight janitor in the ER for around 4 years. Moms with young children should not work the overnight shift. It was survival mode that made me stay as long as I did.
