The Separation I have been blessed with a set of parents and a sister that love me unconditionally. They have provided me with all the necessary tools I have needed in order to be where I am today. My parents always made sure I was caught up in school and that I was having fun and doing what I loved. Countless trips to the lake, dad coaching my baseball teams, and a trip to the coast and mountains every year. My parents loved me and I knew they loved each other. We were one big happy family.

I am blessed that my parents overcame some obstacles and figured out how to love one another once
