Cody and I walked up the steps. “Guys, time for dinner.” Cody said as he walked in the bunkhouse. “Okay. Were coming.” Strait yelled as he got up from the bed he was laying on.

ground. But then I had to ask myself why I was on a trampoline. I couldn’t remember anything. Suddenly I felt hands on my shoulders and side. Someone was trying to roll me to my back. As soon as I was lying on my back, the light blinded me. My eyes adjusted slowly to the brightness, but as soon as they did it all came back to me.

hear people saying that growing up without a father figure can be bad to a child. However, I never saw it that way. When I was a year and a half old, my father had decided to migrate to the United States, and leave his family and everything else behind him.
