Jordan. I lived in a home where the struggles of life drifted me away from education. It was more of a place where I grew up without a father. Although my mother raised me, I lived long years with my Siti (grandmother). When I was six-years-old, my mother had to leave for eight months; as to where she was going and why, I had no clue.

The lost souls would be able to apologize for anything done wrong, be able to say “I love you” one last time, and even tell them where a certain large stack of money is hidden.
