ALL IN MY MIND

I was born May 10, 1976 to the parents of Michael and Alicia. I was named Monica Renee Hill and weighed 7lbs 5oz and 15in long. I was there second child and there only daughter. Two years ago they had my big brother Michael Jr. My parents were young when they had me and me brother. My mom was 16 and my dad was 18 and both were in high school. When my mom held me for the first time she was happy because she wanted a daughter and she had me. She started kissing me and saying that she loves me and was going to take good care of me.
When my dad came in the room to see me for the first time he was happy and excited and nervous at the same time. He was scared to hold me because he said he didn’t want to drop me. He just rocked me back and forth while looking in my eyes. The next day I went home with my parents to my grandma house. She was all excited to see me she almost knocked me out of my car seat. That was the day I felt like I had a happy family with no problems.
When Michael saw me he was happy and wanted to feed me a bottle. My grandma watched me that whole day singing sweet little songs to me. I just fell in love with her I always wanted to be around her. She did everything for me and said I was just her little angel. Michael use to make funny faces at me and I use to always laugh because I thought he was a little monkey.
When I got around 6 months my mom and dad would always argue. To the point that my grandma couldn’t take it no more she put my dad out. And since that day I haven’t seen my dad. I am now 18 and I and Michael have been doing fine without a dad. My mom and grandma are just doing fine when he left my mom said that’s his lost on his children. She told us to don’t worry about she will take his place. I still wish to this day that I had a father.
