... me in my chest
No food, No Water for weeks 
But you came up with the best medicine ever
According to you 
Ammonia would make me feel better
That sent I’ll never forget
I fell to the ground but you laughed 
I knew I had to win this fight
I bravely got up

... with a knife. This began to change however, as Mother's behavior began to change.

I headed back towards Toledo and stopped at Woodland Beach near Monroe. Time for a bath and shampoo in Lake Erie, then dinner and finally I parked for the night on a side street in Toledo. I wanted to go back because I found out they have a really nice art museum.
