Like I Can

prologue

Hello im Alexis Rimes, this is a story of a very amazing unique experience in my life.

I was a young girl born and raised in a small town. There was me, my father Terrance Rimes, my mother Valerie Rimes, my 2 Oldest brother's Charles and James Rimes, and my older sister Bethany Rimes. I had a very...bad childhood you can say. I grew up with not being wanted, I wasn't abandoned but sometimes I wished I was sadly. My father and mother would get along just perfectly our family did. Until I was born, according to them I wasn't supposed to be born i'm just really a mistake. That came from mainly my sister and father my mother was struggling with trying to keep everything perfect with our family she always showed me love and tried showing me I wasn't a mistake my brothers treated me fairly but they weren't fond of my dad which was actually their stepdad they knew how he was they didn't like him as much. One day I lost my mom to a fire out break that had happened at her work. I was devastated she was the only one who at least tried making me feel like I was worth something. Her and my father were planning on a divorce a while ago my dad already moved out with my sister into a new house she was already graduating college I was almost finished with my senior year in high school. My dad didn't like me but he was stuck with me, mainly because he was getting money from my mothers life insurance because of me. Mother left me and my brother's with money she spilt it evenly so the 3 of us would get it but my dad took all that money out from my bank savings account from me. I didnt have anything and I struggled having to work and go to school that's the only way i was able to pay for my clothes, my car, my school things..everything. My brothers refused to stay with my dad they left and moved to texas with my aunt I had to stay stuck with my dad but they tried to check up on me when they could.

But that's my life, i'm here to talk about one very special man who came into my life.. he was like the father I never had. He always appeared wherever I was growing up but..he grew up with me. I was young but he appeared to be in his 20's while I was very young he would watch over me. He was literally always there for me. You honestly wouldn't believe me when you found out who he really was, but he brough so much peace into my life growing up.
