Dr. I

This is a picture of a wonderful, strong, helpful lady named Dr. I. She is in her office where I attend twice a week to discuss my problems. She helps me a lot and gets me through my bad days. She is very calm and nice. She always understands me when nobody else does. She is the mother I never had. I enjoy her company every time we talk. When there are times we cannot communicate, I feel angry and upset because I have a lot of things on my chest that I can’t get off. I feel as though we should have a hotline, where other people going through the same problems as me could have the opportunity to call and discuss their problems with various counselors.

Mother's Days

Sunday, May 8, 2011. A sunny day. We were on the way to the ice cream truck: me, my nephew Adun, and my three nieces Kala, Heavyn, and Jae. They chose me to take them because I spoil them all and they know I won’t tell them no. I am always nice to them, but when they are bad, I put them in punishment. These four children are very important to me. They look up to me, and they respect me – I am their role model. I’ve been there since day one. This helps me so when I want kids I would know what to do. I got a tattoo with all their names in a ribbon, from oldest to youngest. I got this because they mean so much to me and they are my little angels. I look at my arm. I think of them. They will not be forgotten.
