May 3rd 2011 one day before my birthday my Dad went to jail for selling drugs. He got 5 years in jail. That' was great because we was supposed to go to this amusement water park for my birthday but that didn't happen.
My Grandmother on my Dad's side stayed in Oakdale, Louisiana I would go and stay with her on weekends ,after my mama finally let me go with her. She keep me away from his side of the family because she thought that my uncles and cousins were a bad influence on me. But after I got to a certain age I wanted to get to know his side of the family so she let me go.
One weekend after I got out of school for Christmas break I decided that I wanted to stay with my grandma for Christmas. So I called my grandma and asked her to come and get me. I remember her saying that her car was broken but said she would find a way to come and get me. She told me to pack my clothes and get ready she was on the way.
When she pulled up it was an old red Pontiac that a women was driving and my grandma was in the passengers seat. I went out and got in feeling sick because the car was so messy in the inside, it has food all over the seats wet spots on the seats and all kinds of stuff. I didn't like that at all but I was still glad that she came and got me .
