Chapter 1 the beginning
I only know what they told me and they said my mom was 14 and my dad was 16 and that she was the Avett wine drinker and troublemaker and always skipping school. Mom told me yourself that her education was probably at a six grade level but that she had common sense thatTook her a long way. My mom ended up pregnant at 14 and had me at 15 the story was that my grandma Myrtle went to my grandma Christie’s house and told her that we don’t raise no baskets and this boy is going tothat much by my daughter.
so before I was born my mom my dad and their mothers went to the just serve peace and they were married in 1958 my mom tells the story about after they got married her and my dad looked at each other and say what are you going to do and she said I don’t know he said well I got to babysit so they both went home with their parents.
they said my dad had a wandering eye and he liked the girls so before I was born my brothers mother was pregnant with him and my mother gave her holy hell. My mother will fight my father my mother will fight any girl that looked at my dad or any girl she thought was interested in my dad or my dad had interest in her. My uncle JR tells me the story about being busted in the head as a kid with the brick because my mom was throwing it at my dad. Violence and alcohol was a part of me before I even made segue into the world my mom says she joined a capful of Morgan Davis grape wine every day because the old folks said it made the iamb build in the bloodToday someone say that was the makings of a fetal alcohol syndrome baby.
as I look back I can see the workings of my Lord and Savior even before I was born that he was protecting me because the child that he used to carry me up to the world didn’t know a whole lot about even taking care of her self today I know there’s no reason to be angry and you probably hear this over and over again if she knew better she would’ve done better.
