Uphill, against the wind, (both ways), in the blinding snow, carrying my
brother on my back, barefoot (except for the barbed wire wrapping my
feet for traction).

Actually, it reminds me of some humanitarian work my Church does in
Haiti.  I'm reminded of a particular Grandmother who they found living
under a porch because her family had grown by one and they had to choose
which family member to house and feed and which to kick out.  She got
the boot.
