It's been five years since Rosa was born and since then things have changed for the better, Gilly and I are married. We got married when Rosa was six weeks old. It was supposed to be just Gilly, Rosa and I at the courthouse but when we got there Leticia and the whole club was there. Our once simple weeding turned into Leticia standing as my maid of honor and Coco and Angel as Gilly's best man's and Bishop walking me down the aisle. Their surprise brought tears to my eyes but what had the tears rolling down my cheek was the big picture of my mom that was sitting on a chair, as if she was there.
We also have three other kids, three year old twin boys, Dominic James and Diego Joseph, and a two month old girl name Maya Rae and we couldn't be happier.
We are currently outside, the three older kids playing, Gilly bbqing and me holding our youngest daughter. I'm smiling watching the kids playing when I feel Gilly wrap his arms around me and he say "I love all my meximoan's." and I say "your what?" and he says "my meximoans. Mexican plus Samoan equals meximoan. that's what you and all four of our little ones are." and I laugh and say "where you come up with that?" and he laughs and says "Coco and Angel." and I laugh again and say "of course." and call the kids to come eat.
Sitting at the table I look around and see my beautiful family, smiling, laughing and having fun and I realised one thing and that was, no matter how bad your childhood is, YOU make your future what YOU want it to be. My childhood was horrible but my future turn out pretty bright. Being MEXIMOAN and all.
The End!
