When Mr. Harvey was young, he and his mother would steal from stores and scavenge together. They were caught a few times. Mr. Harvey still feels sick to his stomach when he thinks about being caught by a store employee. His mother used him as a child to steal from stores, and when they were successful, his mother would love him.
Mr. Harvey recalls stealing flowers from memorials and graves with his mother. They slept in their truck while three drunken men from a bar attempted to get his mother. Silently, she woke and had Mr. Harvey turn the ignition. The men were slow to react as she jammed down the gas pedal, hitting one of them, then reversing and hitting him again.
As a child, Mr. Harvey could stay calm, just as he did.....
