 My family means the world to me. My dad is Eric, my mom is Cindy. I have an older sister, Serene and a younger brother, Kai. We have 2 dogs, Bandit and Chaser. We have 3 cats, Dakota, Rascal and Buddy. We also have fish and 2 turtles. I have 2 grandmothers. My mom's mom (Lena) lives in Michigan and I don't get to see her much. And my dad's mom lives in Reseda and I get to see her a lot more because she lives closer. My dad's dad passed away before my mom and dad met so I never got to meet him, but my dad says we would have loved him and he would have loved us. I trust that. My mom's dad was my Papa. He lived in Florida. But my mom's aunt had cancer and so my Papa came to stay with us for a while. On Superbowl Sunday(2007), he told my mom he didn't feel well and went to lay down. A few days later, my mom called 911 because he hadn't eaten or had anything to drink for the past 3 days. He was very sick and stayed in the hospital until they took him to a skilled nursing facility. He passed away on April 4, 2007. Two years and a day later, I was crowned Little Miss Mojave. He would have been sooo proud of me. I miss him a lot. But he's in a better place. I have family in Southern California, Alabama, Hawaii, Nevada, Florida and Palmdale. Too many to name. But I love them all too. I am very lucky to have such a great family. I am very lucky to have all that I have when so many others don't have anything. I thank God for what I've got. |
