Maggie shares the many joys from seeing children she helped raise go off to University, find careers and live amazing lives. She also talks about the tragedy of losing her beloved baby Ravi and how she got through the worst time in her life. But most of the conversation is about the power of love and community and the incredible things that grow from it.
