Historia
Miña nai traballaba no hospital de Santiago sen praza fixa, polo que a cambiaron para o de Lugo. Dende ese momento, que ocorreu hai xa máis dunha década, tivo que ir e volver todos os días, facendo 300 kilómetros na viaxe. Todos os días tiña que marchar ás 6 da mañá e regresaba ás 5 da tarde. Isto por moitos anos ata que o ano pasado conseguiu praza fixa no de Santiago polo que xa non ten que ir tan lonxe.
