My Dad
I was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, on January 7, 2003, it was just my mom, my dad, and I. We lived inside these small apartment buildings called Portsmouth Village. Every night I felt safe knowing I had a roof over my head and food on the table. Looking at pictures seeing how happy I was, having every thing be alright we were a complete family. Until 6 months later. -
6 months later
He's gone, but of course I didn't realize it, I knew nothing at the time. As a few months went by one of my moms friends came done to visit. His name is Jermaine Gulley. Its wasn't until a few months later when my sister K'Lynn Thering was born. -
The First
My sister was born 1 year, 2 months, and 4 days later on March 4, 2004, right after my step dads birthday. After K'Lynn was born my mom realized that it was time to move for a bigger house. -
Visit Time
When I was little My dad came back into my life. He wanted me to go up to his house in Portland, Maine to visit for a week. At the time I was about 1 years old, I was still crawling and I was a bigger trouble maker at such a young age. When I was a baby, I would always get out of my crib, it was funny because it had an adjuster on it so the bar could get bigger and higher. So when I was at my dads house he told me that he had found me in the fridge eat veggies and pudding cups. That was it. -
Period: to
After
After that I never saw my dad again. He was out of my life. As i'm growing up I would get calls from him at least once a year saying "Hi what do you want for your birthday" or "Sorry the child support stopped". He really wasn't in my life anymore, but yeah I knew he still loved me as if he was with me everyday. -
Growing Up
It's May 2, 2009 my little brother was born, i'm now 6 years of age still not knowing whats happening in life and seeing the world a comfortable and safe place to be. Once in a while I would be sitting in my room waiting for my dad to come and visit me. I will be excited at some points when my mom says she has a surprise for me hoping it my dad coming, but no. -
6 years later
I'm now 12 years old my dad is still gone. But i'm loving my life I have 4 other people in my life to depend on. So i'm on my way to the airport until my mom told me that my dad had given me $100 dollars to spend while i'm in Minnesota with my uncle and cousins. This was the first time in over 7 years I heard my dads voice over the phone. My mom was telling me sorry over and over, because I was sitting in Walgreen's crying my eyes out. -
Nothing
Months have gone past and I still haven't heard from my dad.
