Yevette Smith, 57, happily hugged her cat Whisper in a comfortable apartment in Franklin last week as she sat on a fluffy couch recollecting how opposite her life seemed almost a year ago. She s been with me through everything, Smith, a California native, said looking down at the faithful Calico companion.
Back then, Smith could barely stretch out at night while she slept in her car in a Walmart parking lot. Life was uncomfortable and uncertain. I was just out there, she said. It was just Jesus and me against the world . Sometimes I thought, how do you get through this? But you have to have strong faith and spirit.
