Catherine

 Catherine moved down from Dallas to San Antonio to get away from her family, a bunch of alcoholics and addicts of various and sundry maladies. Isn’t it sad to have to run from your family? She introduces us to her daughter Jasmine, all of sweet 16, who aspires to a career on criminal justice. “All three of my kids are smart,” Catherine proudly says. I slip three 5’s into her hand before we leave, extinguishing the folders in my wallet. We all have our Thanksgiving stories.
