My sister Ana and her friend were next room right next to mine listening to their abhorrent lyrics they called music. A couple of months ago before moving into this gorgeous house the prefect home I always dreamt or any other kid who grew up in family of a working class getting the chance to live in a marvelous home the kind you see in movies. When my parents told me that we were moving a couple of miles away from where I used to live I didn’t understand the reason that all of the sudden I did not wanted to move away. From all the times I dreamt to get out of there and live in a perfect family and a great home. Nothing made sense at that time, but suddenly this sadly feeling and being numbed as I laid there on my bed all sweaty from the hot sun …show more content…
My dad the person who the idea was to move away, who is infirm about himself not very strong as a person who would give up easily but loves his a family very much and as a man of the house I think he felted as he failed us as a father and husband.

    They lived in the same house and took care of me just as much as my mother did. I was raised with love and affection by all three of them and was very content in their care.
