“The financial savings of living with my mom in Holyrood allowed me to pay off my car and fully furnish our new home,” Marissa wrote.“My daughter formed a close relationship with her great-grandmother, they played cards and board games, watched TV together, and occasionally Nan would tell kiddo off for sucking her thumb,” she wrote.
