I am 1 of 11 children a lot of names to memorize and birthdays . Truthfully I only know 1 and that 's Kenisha my sister from my mom.

I was very young when my mom meet my dad Brian they meet through my Aunt Nancy who was married to a man named Scott in the military and that 's how they met. They would shortly get married and little did I know that every part of me would change. Since he was in the Army that meant moving upon moving, making new friends, it all seemed like a revolving door. But of course my mom and dad said “oh you will hate leaving your friends when you move then you love it once you get there you will love it.” And of course they were right as they claimed that they were always right. I could get over that but as life went on it got hard to handle some things. My dad would have to go overseas. I was young I was like daddy’s little girl, I could get away with alot of things that I wouldn’t be able to with my mom around.
