My Life And The That Came Along With It

The story of me has its ups and downs just like everybody else. I was born here in lexington ky in may of 1984, in a small house on york street. I grew up with my two brothers and the oldest my sister latoya. She has had brain damage since i was two years old but we never treated her any different. Me and my brothers cori and waun stayed in some trouble, the first time i went to juvenile i was five years old. Me and my brothersand two other friends buglarized, and vandalized a nice house. I will never forget the look on my moms face when she seen her five year old son in the back of a police cruiser.

I grew up always being able to depend on my brothers, and all the kids in the neighbor hood use to tell me your brothers aren't always gonna be there. I use to just look at them and laugh, and tell myself we are always gonna be together. But years later i found out what they was saying was true. When i was fourteen years old my brother cori started to have really bad ceazers, and he very seldom took his medicane like he was suppose to. After about a year goes by of this behavior he has a major ceazer one that almost took his life. He stayed in the hospital for about eight months, the doctors told us he would never be the same again me at such a young age really didnt understand what that meant. Still until this day brother is still recovering slowly but surely he just recently had his first son.

Now for my oldest brother Waun he took on a life of crime and never looked back. He spent more time of his life in jail then anything else. But in 1998 he made a decision that would change his life forever. He commited murder at the age of 18. He was sentenced to twenty one years 85% His release date is set for 2016. The saddest part of this is we havent seen each other face to face since 1999 i was 15 years old.

My purpose to this story is i guess what them guys was telling me back then really did happen i lost my brothers. We may never have that bond again. I regret alot of decisions i have made in my life, but none more than turning my back on my brothers. I feel like i took our love and trust for one another for granted.
