Watching Westerns

When I was 12 that's when my papa finally let me hold the guitar to play it even thought he taught me how, he didn't want me to hold it because it was expensive and he was just a little scared. -
Listening to one of my best friends sing
Back in middle school my friend she was my cousin actually but she loves to sing an she was very good at it.

My Aunt Bo and her boyfriend making fun of me
Back when I was in foster care I’d call them my aunt an papa sometimes. But one day we was all watching the game and doing a puzzle an I couldn’t see who was playing Kentucky an they told me to try an pronounce it an I messed it up completely. Everyone laughed an try to say what I said but they couldn’t. I was very embarrassed. -
My papa telling me how proud he was of me
When i past my permit test he'd tell me he was happy that I could come see him now and that it was about time for me to start driving. He would say he stared diving at 12 and just old stories he'd like telling when I went to see him because I had so many things in common with him. Me an my papa had a friendship that was unbreakable. -
My big brother
Me an my brother didn't get along to well before 2017 but while he was in jail he'd text me all the time or call me, he'd ask me to send him song lyrics to some of the songs I'd like to listen to and when he got out he'd always play them and it got on my nerves. But it was also the thing that brought us closer to each other as well. But sometimes when I'd play them he'd say I stole them from him.
