I was up for the challenge even though I had nothing to lose, but had much to gain. Due to the challenges I faced with my divorce, and the resignation of my job, I felt I losed everything I worked hard for. However, in the mist of having both it was tearing me apart for years. Therefore, difficult decisions had to be made in other to find myself again. Having peace in my life was not an option anymore.
I fell to the floor sobbing knowing my life would never be the same. That’s what happened that horrible night in October after receiving a phone call from my step-aunt saying my grandfather had just passed away. I knew my life was going to change significantly. I started to rebel, it tore my family apart, and everyone looked for signs that he was still with us somewhere, somehow. Death of a loved one has a negative impact on everyone who loved that person.
If anything has made me who I am today it would be the hardships that I have encountered throughout my years and the many mistakes I have made while growing up. Many of the worst mistakes I have made throughout my life have happened recently. In the past two years
It was an experience that I did not know how to handle. For my son and I it was very difficult and life changing. After the divorce I decided to relocate with my mother. I knew that after all she was the only person that can help me gain that strength and will power I had before this experience. I knew that I had to make changes not only for me but, for my son.
Everything seemed numb and in slow motion when I was drinking. Missing one family gathering led to not remembering birthdays all together. I can’t say I cared much at the time, but, as soon as I was sure I was getting sober, the reality of what a horrible daughter, sister and aunt I’d been for the last few years set in. The guilt hit me hard. I knew I had to get the hardest part over with first.
We have come a long way from what my in laws told me. They told me that when they moved here back in the 70’s they went through a lot from disrespect to their property to people not being nice to them. The way I would resolve any inequities would be by making sure that every home now that is being fore closed gets an owner. People are losing their jobs and losing their homes. That’s not fair to those who had been living in those homes for a long period of time.

In their culture when a love one dies you’re expected to wail and cry to properly show your grief. His wife Enifa was screaming at first then she started grasping for her breath. Then his mothers face twisted like she had eaten something sour.
unable to pay bills on time. I get very nervous, I know my family is depending on me. I can realize that I am doing the best that I can right now. I can talk with my wife about how I am feeling and we can look at ways the family to cut back on expenses for a while until we can get caught ! !D., I just got a job that I applied for about 2 weeks ago.
