Maria managed the household, grew vegetables, and took sewing jobs to supplement their income.<\/p>\n<p>She rarely complained, even when the family struggled to pay bills.<\/p>\n<p>Peter assumed she was always strong.<\/p>\n<p>One winter, Maria became ill and could no longer work for several weeks. Peter suddenly realized how much she had been doing every day.<\/p>\n<p>The house grew disorganized, the children needed attention, and money became even tighter.<\/p>\n<p>He struggled to manage everything Maria had carried for years.<\/p>\n<p>When she recovered, Peter sat beside her bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought you were never tired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maria smiled weakly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was tired almost every day.
