Story 

My true story.
My child.
When I was a little girl the kids did not like me because I
stayed to myself.
When I grew up,
things had changed over time.
My mother had three children —
Two girls and one boy.
My mother lived in Shady Side, Md.
Mother and father,
Everything changed when my mother and father got
divorced and my mother moved on.
Then I had a stepfather, too, I was close to him.
I am not close to my real father.
My mother and my step-father lived in Northeast
Washington, D.C.
I eventually got married to my husband Paul.
My husband passed away a long time ago.
I had a job.
Everything came apart living in a shelter and being
homeless. You never forget where you come from.
My stepfather passed on.
My mother moved to another place. I stayed with my
mother because she got sick and then passed on.
I love to work.
I love singing songs.
I love to paint.
