On this day I was born a whole three months early! My mom was at the end of her 2nd trimester, but she said she wasn't scared. She knew God would let me be born problem free! I was only 2lbs 17oz, but I was already full of fight. While in the incubator for two months, I would grip my mom's finger tight as if to say, "I'm here. I'm gonna make it Mommy. Don't worry!"

I can't remember much from this time period, and neither of my parents really talk about it, but I remember my dad being a constant figure until then. He took me to daycare everyday, I'd step on his back for him when it started to hurt and the all of sudden that stopped. My dad had been sent to jail. Five-year-old-me didn't understand what that was, but I knew it was bad place and he wouldn't be home for a long time.
