Sometimes It is hardest to decide where you begin in your story to best help a reader grasp exactly what you are saying, the metaphors that you use might not be grasped or interpreted how you intended, a theme you wish to set might not come off as eerie as intended. 


However, let's start with the stories I've been told, before I could really make any coherent thoughts of myself, My family would move from California to Texas. Small town to small town. My dad would be given a  job offer that would later provide us the most amazing life. My mom explain to my siblings and I that she had helped put my dad through college by taking as many jobs as needed to provide for us before our move from state-to-state.  My father though having many jobs in his life followed a family tradition as a  flight instructor before accepting a big government job.

     Everyone was more than excited to move, From southern California to a Border Town In texas, all of us trailed along our parents to a small little apartment, though a tight fit, I do have glimpses of memory that prove to me we were very happy to be around each other and that the problems had not yet began, though only eighteen months old, I was believed to be a very happy baby.

We eventually moved from the apartment to a house just down the street from it - at the time it was perfect, until it wasnt.
