Now I Remember I never had a place I could call home. I bounce from house to house, whichever house would let me stay, whichever house had the least drama at that time. I never knew what a stable and happy family looks like. Most of family is drug addicts so it was never a stable environment. Until one day I met John. He’s tall, handsome and has a very positive sprit to be around. Every conversation we had it was always inspirational. He was always telling me to look at the better things in life that I do have and go from there, to not dwell on the past but look forward to the future. This is about him and how he helped me see life from a different perspective. We met the summer of 2008. We actually lived across the street from each other but never pay attention enough to say hi. This was the year we both graduated high school and what made us actually say “hi” was that his cousin and I were in the same class and I seen him walking to the house across from mine. I said “hey you’re in my English class I didn’t know you lived here,” he replied “I don’t this is my cousins house I live in the apartments behind your house.” After that he brought his cousins outside to play football. As I sat there and watched their family laugh and play together I was just a little shocked to see how close and happy they are. The little girls playing with their big brother John and jumping on him it was just very different to see that bond. I started going over there house when from when I woke up to when I went to sleep. The more I hung around them the more I wanted what they had. They sit down and watch movies together, laugh and eat together. They were huge on the big family get together and having a good time. My family we have our own television in our rooms. We eat and watch television by ourselves. Majority of the time were all watching the same thing and I have no idea why we stayed in our rooms
