My Mother Gives Me an Allowance At Last
The author recounts receiving a monthly 28 dollar allowance from his late mother via an escrow arrangement. He reflects on his parents memories from the Dust Bowl era and how the money feels both generous and heavy. He spends part on groceries and a candy bar, wrestling with the impulse to be reckless yet loyal to his mother’s memory. Bill Hall is the Lewiston Tribune editorial page editor.
