They were also farmers for their whole lives which gave my family the respect and understanding of farmers. My great grandma was not the most humorous person. She was very monotone and took everything seriously. Many believed this was because of hurtfulness and loneliness.

My great grandfather died at just the age forty two from a heart attack, and my great grandpa died from old age in her early …show more content…
Money became more of an issue because my father didn’t always pay child support. He actually got a girlfriend, and moved away to North Carolina, only keeping in touch with joseph, and john. Sometimes he would call or text message me on holidays, and my birthday. The only time he comes home is for Christmas. When I was in ninth grade, my mother got together with a man named Jamie. When I was a senior in high school, they had a baby boy together. Unlike my father, Jamie supported and accepted Troy and the rest of us as his own, and does anything he can do to support our family.
Throughout my whole family, boundaries have its differences. Yaya, and papa have little to no boundaries as to who they let in, and who they do not. Although they have to be that way in order for them to succeed in their Ambit business. As opposed to Yaya, my mother 's boundaries are completely closed. The means of having autistic children more than likely plays a big part in this to keep them safe and away from the discrimination of the outside world. Boundaries set by myself, are very selective.

    The story of how my grandparents, Paul and Linda Richardson first met, is definitely a unique one. My Grandfather’s childhood was not the ideal family at all, he wished to be on his own after high school. Linda, on the other hand, had a “perfect” family life, her dad was the “love of her life”, and meant the world to her. Paul and Linda obviously had two extremely diverse families that did not mix well. Paul’s mother had much hatred towards Linda for no reason at all.…

He has always been the one his sisters came to for help prior to the death of their parents. My dad was the person who fixed everything that broke, helped my grandparents as they aged, and more or less took a lot of the responsibilities on in the family. My mother strived to be nothing like her older sisters and she moved out of the house at an early age.…

This means that while the parent may logically know that giving up a child is giving them the best chance at happiness, the decision can still result in emotional devastation that may affect a his/her life nearly as much as a present child. Adoption is not the get-out clause that pro-life campaigners claim it to be therefore, but another life-long ordeal that no one should be forced to go through because of a mere biological relationship to another…

    The only option he had was to drop out of school in order to find a small job to take care of him and his sister. He had been working at home for almost three years, but to me he was no longer our farm worker but also a brother. My brother and I asked our parents if they can help him go back to school since he wanted it so bad. Because he had demonstrated good manners to my parents, they trusted that he would never turn them down in case they paid his school fees. For twelve years, Emmanuel did not talk to his mother or his family relatives, and they did not bother to look for him neither.…
