(My Childhood) My Name is Shannoan ,But everyone calls me Shay. My life was okay besides the fact that I watched my dad beat on my mom almost everyday when he came home from work. I never understood why he had so much anger and hate in his eyes. It bothered me to know I couldn't do anything but sit there and watch at just ten years old, But one day I guess my mother had enough so as my father was at work she packed and gathered our stuff and we moved to ATL. ~3 Months Later... On a Bright beautiful day my mom decided she would take us to the Waffle House. The Waitress brought our food as we ate, talked and enjoyed each others company, But then i realized my mother was actually happy for the once i haven't seen her smile in a long time it brought joy to my heart. On are way home my mother and I listened to Mindless Behavior on full blast. My life flashed before my light brown eyes, as a car ran into us...... We were rushed to the hospital ....In the Ambulance all i could think about was my mother was she going Be okay?! Was she alive?! Would I ever see my mommy again?! A Million and one questions ran through my mind. I woke up in a room full of strangers around me, But yet all I can think about was my Mother. Soon as i was okay I was released to my mothers Hospital room and after waiting and thinking. The Doctor said my mother was paralyzed from the waist down all I can do is bust out in tears and Hug my mommy. About a hour later my mom told me that she loved me and i had to stay with my cousin Dria she was 22 years old. Dria was the closest trustworthy family member able to take care of me. ~1 Week Later
