I watched my marshmellow burn in front of me, as my world seemed to crash down right in front
of my eyes. It seemed like everyone I loved seemed to leave me. I had nobody left. My mom died of
cancer last year, and my dad was never there. I was left to my aunt after my mom died. But, when i
came home from school today nobody was home. No suprise my aunt was an alchohalic and often
passed out at the local bar. But, today was different, she would usually be home with in 3-4 hours, or at
least call. I felt so betrayed but, i knew i couldnt sit around and wait for a miracle. My aunt wasnt
coming home. But, i couldnt let one more person stop me.I had to continue on with my life. I took the
stash of money my aunt kept in her floor board from her tips from her "side job" as an exotic dancer.
I packed a bag of food and one of clothes and anything else i'd need. I was going to find my dad. Im not
going to allow him to leave any further before i got the chance to yell at him, for not only leaving my
mother alone at 19 to raise a baby by her self, but leaving his only son, who'd been through too
much with no father. My next step: To find my father. I couldnt even consider him my father, even if i
wanted to. I was out to find Samuel Ruiz. My mother told me when i was younger that he was puerto
rican and italian. and had light blue eyes and was 6' 8". She said the last she heard from him he
was living in North Carolina, which is halfway across the country from Washington......
