  • I become a big sister!

    I become a big sister!
    Even though we fight like crazy and hate eachother a good 90% of the time, this was one of the best days of my life because not only did i become a big sister, but i got a life long best friend who will always be there for me and vice versa.
  • My mom has a brain aneurysm.

    My mom gets rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night and has to under go open brain surgery. The amazing part is she has absolutely nothing wrong with her today, shes completely normal when statistics show 4 out of 7 people who suffer from a brain aneurysm will have disabilities and 500,000 people die each year from them.
  • My first day of kindergarten.

    My first day of kindergarten.
    I start kindergarten at Harold Hatcher in transcona because thats where my parents lived while they were married.
  • My parents separate.

    I remeber the night it happened, my parents were fighting in the living room for what seemed like all night. Finally my dad went to the door, he looked down at me and told me he had to go back to work for a bit. Thinking back on it he seemed a little choked up. I asked if i could go with him and he said "no sweetie maybe next time." After he left my mom was on the phone, packing a suit case, asking my sister and i if we wanted to go to my cousins for a sleepover.
  • We move in with my grandparents.

    The next day we dont go back home, we move in to my grandparents house.
  • We move into our own appartement.

    After a few months of being with my grandparents my mom cant take it anymore. She finds a job and an appartment in st boniface and we end up living there with my step dad for ten years.
  • My parents oficially become divorced.

    From what my mom tells me after you separate you have to wait 1 whole year to become officially divorced, so the year after my mom left my parents become divorced. Offically.
  • My step dad gets admitted to the hospital.

    My step dad had been sick a long time, and we never knew what it was and he refused to go to the doctors. One day my mom finally convinced him to go to the hospital and they called an ambulence to come get him.

  • First day at ATC.

    I thought i wanted to be a pastry chef which is why i enrolled, but then relized that i could never do that as a career and the teacher was too much to handle so i dropped out. I realized i wanted to save people instead of kill them as a career.

  • First car.

    First car.
    My grandparents buy me my first whip on the condition that they get to do all the repaires and all i have to do is pay for gas and insurence, it sounds nice but the only reason they did this was to keep a hold and control over my life.
