Before I start thanks for some of your inputs. There is alot more to share and to be told. But to get the whole meaning of what i truley feel you need to know the fundamentals the esscence of my life.
After my mom's divorce she was left with two kids me age 4, and jimmy age 1. With nowhere to turn or go she depended on i guess finding another man. While she was doing that we lived in the poorest part's of Newark, Irvington, Jerseycity,Newjersey area. I can go on pointed out the condition we lived under but it's the same old story of living in the city and being poor. I remember my mother struggling to keep our heads above water. Working as a maid and a waitress. I respected her for that but there's thing's i hated also about her.
But that is for a later discussion. She had met her best friend Sandra A nice Big Purtorican Lady whom only lived 8min away from us in Irvington,N.J.
Which was good because she was our lifeline back then. Sandra had two kids Luis and Sandra. Luis was her oldest he is 4yrs older then me and sandra is my age. They spent everyday i can remember toghther. But i only remember living with my mom until i was 9yrs old. Which is also for another section. I need to first explain from the begining.
Now keep this in mind I think im american speak english and dont look japanese at all people even thought my name was some kinda of spanish name of some sort. But my gave me a nickname a american name.
Well the story gets more into detail as it progresses. Until then I have to get ready for work.
