It was a that time of the year for momma and I ,we havent been one of the luckiest people in the world , but it was still doable . My momma had lost plenty of things and wasn't on the right track as off right now . But once we had settled down a little it started to get a little better . I couldn't go to school until Ma got on her feet but once she did I went to this new school .

First it started when we lost my dad . My mom and dad have known each other since diapers . It was your typical love story , you know one of the like the stories you'll watch in a movie . Like Cinderella , or Sleeping beauty . But she didn't have evil step sisters , or she wasn't dead , well in a coma like sleeping beauty . But she did use to sleep a lot , so that counts .

Anywaysss , at first my mom and dad use to be best friends . My momma had this boyfriend that my dad didn't like , I guess it's because he liked her , from the stories that my mother has told me they use to argue like everyday until one day my mothers boyfriend told her to make a choice . She sadly chose her boyfriend over my dad , End of story , byeeeee.

I'm just kidding , she chose my dad of course , duhhh , see how I tricked you ? Anywaysss yeah she chose my dad , because she wasn't going to end a friendship since they were babies over a 2 year relationship that didn't consist in nothing but lying , cheating , and using . Honestly if she didn't chose my dad then I wouldn't be born then that will be sad now wouldn't it .

That same day my dad ended up telling my mom that he had feelings for her and that he always loved her and that if she didn't feel the same then he would understand . Obviously they got together , turns out my mother felt the same way about my dad , she just didn't know if he felt the same way .

That's when they were in high school , so after high school is when it really started . They started going out and were spending even more time with each other . Since their parents were like best friends , my mother and father was always with each other . One faithful day , my dad finally popped the question and asked my mother to marry him ,Then the came me ‼️

We were one of the best families you could ever imagine of . My mother was a entrepreneur so she was making a lot of money . She owned a lot of businesses here and there and was the boss of almost all of them . My father now , went to the military for about 3-4 years . But once he came back , he worked with my mother . He also used to ride motorcycles on the side , in guessing he was in some kind of "motorcycle gang ", or whatever you call it .

I , on the other hand , was doing good in school . I'm not going to sit up here and say I was a perfect child because I wasn't . Not every child is perfect , matter fact I was a little far from perfect . I wasn't a bad kid but I was a average kid , I was smart as hell tho , but I didn't like to show it .

I also loved drawing , lawdddd nothing could've stopped me from drawing . I used to draw stuff and send it to my dad when he was in the military . I used to draw like 5 days out of the week because Saturday and Sunday was family days and we used to go out to eat on saturdays then have Sunday dinners on Sunday . You know , typical black family. But all that went left when my dad died .

That day was hard on both my mommy and I . I can remember it like it was yesterday . It was a Tuesday of March 22, 2013 , on Tuesday's my dad will go with his little motorcycle crew , while the girls just stay home and watch movies . All I remember was my dad best friend Ray running into the house saying that my dad got into a accident . When I heard those words I automatically broke down . We rushed to the hospital that day but we were too late . When we got there we only saw him in a room with white sheet over him . Things wasn't the same after that day .

I was 14 when that happens , now it's 3 years later and we haven't been doing good ever since . My mother wouldn't eat for days , all she did was cry and cry . Especially at the funeral , she wouldn't leave the casket , they literally had to pull her off of his casket . I had to stay strong for my mother , I cried but not in front of my momma . Normally the mother is the one that wouldn't cry in front of the kids . But in this case it was me trying not the cry in front of my momma . She lost some of her business because she stopped going to work . Sadly we had to move out of the house because we couldn't afford the rent , because the money stopped coming in . We had to live with my aunt for a while until my momma got on her feet .

Once she finally got in her feet , she got a job but in that job she had to keep going out of state . At one point of time she was going To quit because she didn't like the fact that she kept having to leave me at home but I simply told her like I'm old enough and that I'll be okay . But we finally stayed in one place and I had to go to a new school . High school isn't easy but I catch on pretty fast so this should be a blast . Right ??

Well here goes nothing .
