Watching my parents struggle to make it with three kids was a blessing it taught me that there was nothing in this world you can't do if you really want something. When I turned seventeen I had my son and even through I was still in school and had people from school including teachers telling me that I was to young to have a baby and I would not graduate. I was hardheaded and decided to keep my baby and prove to everyone that I could do it, I graduated in May of 1998 my son was three years old by then and I have my family to thank and especially my mother, she quit her job to stay at home and take care of my son while I went to school. In the fall of 98 I was married to a man that I thought I loved but as our marriage went on I realize that marrying him because he was my son's father was the wrong thing to do. He was the wrong man for me I worked and he was lazy cared more about weather I was cheating on him and his drugs than providing for his family. So we divorced years later after we figured out we couldn't get alone and was better off as friends. I went to work for a construction company and met a wonderful man after a year of being and living with this man I realize what kind of person I was and the life I wanted for myself. I fell in love with this man an would do anything to be with him. When the job ended our relationship didn't, he lived in Michigan and it is hard having a long distance relationship but if your heart is in it things seem to work out. It has been two years now and we are still going strong, and talking about me moving there to be with him and his family. This wonderful man in my life is the reason I wrote this story, even though some things in this book may not have happen exactly like this, we have had some hard times being apart with the surgery I went through and the job ending that has seperated us from seeing each other as much. He is one of a kind and my love for him has gotten stronger. This is a story about a past that I will never forget but have learned from and the future I hope to have. I just want to say thank you to my family, friends and Steve you have helped me find the person I am meant to be and how to be truthful with myself and everyone around me. I love all of you very much.view less
