"I must say with all the sad in my life there was a lot of happy too. For a while my ,other was clean and doing good and we had a lot of good times with her. One being going to Disney world and Universal Studios in Orlando. She used to take us to the park and have tickle fights with us at home. She taught me how to be a gentlemen and to never hit a women. She loved me and my brothers with all her heart but she just had a problem with drugs that she kept running into. Oh yeah and loser boyfriends. We also had an amazing homemaker who practically raised me and my younger brother and helped my mom get clean. I have seen so much death and just messed up things, but I am okay and I love the family and friends I do have and I love righting." Michael said smiling. "It's like they say it's always darkest before the dawn."
