And Salute

Have you ever felt kinda proud that your family Served in the Military, but you also feel so sad because of you learned in High School how horrible the war is, well thats how I feel.

Last night I talked to my great grandma about her family, I needed more info on her Family and Great Grandpa Grappin. She told me how her Grandmother was a Orphan in England and how she had a family and gotten married then came to Canada, whats really sad is that she died from cancer in 1944 when my great grandma was a kid. My great grandmas mom met her father during WW1 and he fought for Canada and had the first 3 children in canada and had the rest including my great grandma in Clio, Michigan.

My great grandma told me how a few brothers out of 8 of her brothers have died from different types of cancer. Kinda made me wounder last night as I was watching TV if I should do those DNA test that is all over TV. I have been wanting to do it for a while because I do not know the other half of my biological fathers side because because my Dad adopted me when he married my mom. But I do know a lot of the Browns side, and I always talk to grandma ( paternal side) about grandpas side.

People need to stop being a bully

My 15 year old brother has been bullied a bit yhis year, of course its his first year of high school, but sometimes theres a line. Damian has aspergers which is a lower form of autisum. He has special help like I did in school, like a study hall to help get his work done. My brother loves to draw, hes been drawing for as long as i cam remeber and he has gotten sp good. There was this kid in his class that thought he cpuld take a advantage and get him in trouble by drawing a penis and saying he did that. I dident know until me and Damian had a argument and I felt awful because I know thats not my brother, he dosent like talking, saying anything about that stuff at all, he dosent even luke seeing mom and dad kiss. Later in day it kinda made me remeber when I was bullied in middle school because of my religion. I was christion but strick form of it. We followed the bible much closer then anyone. Woman wore skirts, because it said to dress like a woman and that is what we did. Everyday I...

September 11, 2001

I somewhat remember 9/11. I was only 4, just before my 5th birthday. I did ask my mom what happened, I was at home with my mom, she was pregnant and was watching tv. My mom was on the phone with a bunch of people that day, my dad was at work and came home early. Every year at school we always sat in silence some stupid students even said why do we still have to do it. I do it because I'm lucky, I'm lucky none of my family was hurt and they were all home safely. We celebrate for those who didn't make it, you didn't come home safely, who didn't make it or come home from finding others, and for those who crashed, saved others, and for those who thought it was going to be a normal day when in reality it changed not those who lost the family member that day but the world, the United States, and every student who sits in class who sits in silence. Today is the day not only to be thankful for what we have or lucky to be alive but also for those who sacrifice their liv...

Opening up

A few months ago I ready to open up to my boyfriend after a year of being together, I was scared but at the same time I felt relieved knowing he knew and I felt so safe and happy after that and I felt like I can trust him even more after that fact that I told him things I never told him. I hugged me as tightly as he cold and wiped my tears away and knowing I have him by my side, I know it will be ok.
