Now as if things were not hard enough, my daughter who is 20 has a beautiful baby girl. The baby was sick so my daughter and a man she was dating took my granddaughter to the ER. Then they had to get her RX, so my daughter left the baby in the car with the guy so she was not out in the bad weather.

I do not recall much of my life before kindergarden. I can recall once witnessing my mother shoot at a man who was breaking into our apartment. I do not know if she actually shot him, she has said she shot him in the behind which is funny in a way. I just remember hiding around the corner of a wall and him trying to come through the door.
I enjoyed elementary school and it was fairly uneventful for me. I got ran over when I was riding my bike by a teenager on a go cart and hurt my hand. I...
