On to the Next Chapter

Things continued on normally for a while. Life moved on and while things were not perfect, it was as normal for me as it could be.

We had to move after a pipe burst in our trailer and flooded it. The landlords did not want to fix it and told us that we would have until a certain time to find a new place. We found a place in Riley Indiana to rent but it was a little higher than what we could afford. My mom and dad talked to the landlord and to our surprise, they told us they would lower the price so that we could afford it. We moved in not too long after that and things were going great. Until my grandma died. My mom was her care taker and so she was devastated as was I because all three of us were very close. My grandma was the reason I came to love baking. 

After that my dad was at work when we got a call from them saying that he was getting taken to the hospital. He was having a heart attack. Later we found out he had multiple over time and he never knew. He thought that he was just having shoulder pain during the night, got up and smoked a cigarette and went back to bed. Turns out that he had multiple 100% blockages in his heart and also some that were 80%. He had quadruple bypass and that was quite the recovery. He did quit smoking which was good, but things were never really the same.

After a little time my mom got a job for the first time in a while. She was excited and she was good at her job. My mom was a people person and she had become a demo person at Sam's Club so she made a lot of friends. One of which would make a later appearance and would end up becoming my best friend and sister from another mister.

My mom faced two more devastations when her friend and bosses sister passed away and later her friend and boss passed as well. Both from cancer which she knew all too well as a survivor. As the time passed, things between my mom and dad got worse to the point where eventually they called it quits and my mom and I moved. We found a house in Brazil Indiana and I purchased my very first house. Crazily enough, I bought my first house before my first car. My mom started seeing someone from her work and they grew closer and closer. First she started off going to his house every weekend and slowly it was more and more until she moved in with him and I lived on my own.

This is where will stop for now.

Continuing On...

  So with everything happening, I was still able to keep hanging out with my friends and take care of my mom. One day, I remember certain things but not everything clearly. I was invited to a sleepover with a couple of friends and they were coming to pick me up but I wanted to eat something. I hurried up and ate some Spaghettio's with franks and downed a can of Mountain Dew. My brother and his friend were playing with a football out front and the PT cruiser was coming down the driveway bumping music. My mom and brother hollered to have a good time, I jumped in the car, and we took off. One of my friends was driving and the other one was putting make up on in the passenger seat. I was in the back and we were all just singing to the music. The last song that I remember hearing was Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa (turns out later that Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing at the time . I wasn't feeling right and I told my friends that I didn't feel good, and then I remember f...

Hello World...Let's Start at the Beginning

 Let's start at the beginning. To understand everything that is going on in my life and to catch you up to today, I have to go all the way back. Some stuff may be hard to read so just read on with caution. When my mom was pregnant with my sister, she got chicken pox and pneumonia, and ended up on a ventilator. While she was unconscious, my sister was born stillborn and my mom never got to say goodbye to her. She went through a very hard time after that with depression. She had two boys and wanted a girl very much so it was also very devastating that she lost her girl and didn't get to say goodbye. Her plan was to be done having children after my sister but she tried one more time and she got me! Now I also gave her a run for her money from the moment I was born. I was born a month and a half early, lost weight, and had spinal meningitis. I also happened to turn blue one day while my mom was feeding me. Neither of us knew what the future held for the both of us and that our stru...
