My Dad

Who is my dad?

He is one of the nicest people I know. And is always there for me when no one else is. His wife’s name is Lindsey, he has 2 kids me and my brother Spence.

My mom and dad!

My mom and dad love each other to pieces and pieces and they hope to be together forever and ever. They we’re married May 1st, 2010 and are about to have there 10 year anniversary.

My dad and I!

Me and my dad love to fish, hunt, or play fun games together and trust me I love my dad more than anything in the world. My dad is so funny and will always make me laugh when his jokes aren’t even funny.

The Concert

This post is going to be about Johnny Cash. If you don’t know who Johnny Cash is, then let me tell you. Johnny Cash is a famous musician that married a girl named June Carter Cash in 1968. To learn more go to Johnny Cash Wikipedia.

A few weeks ago I went to a Johnny Cash concert with my dad. Johnny was obviously not there because he is dead but the main person was someone that looked and sounded like him. At the concert I had 2 popsicles 1 tasted like chocolate and the other tasted like strawberry lemonade. Me and my dad danced and danced. I had a great time me and my dad probably left around 8 or 9. When me and my dad went home we watched the Johnny Cash movie, I Walk the Line. Some of you might not like Johnny Cash and are wondering why I even like him. Well, here is why.

I like Johnny Cash because he is an inspiration, he started as a farm boy and became a famous musician. I believe that if he can become a famous musician I can become a famous writer. Believe in yourself and anything can happen! Johnny did! And if you agree with me make sure to read more of my posts.

I am sorry for my absence

I am going to be honest and tell you that I loved blogging my life and sharing my memories with the people that read this. However, when I got older for some reason I thought that I got too old to do what I love, which is writing. I stopped doing my blog and I stopped writing short stories that no one read except me.

For a while now I have thought about continuing my blog and writing once or twice a week for anyone to see. I realized that I should be doing what I love instead of worrying about what others think. From here forward I will focus on what I love and enjoy, writing and sharing my life. I hope that you too can put yourself before popularity and focus on what makes you happy.

My loving grandmother

In life, everyone has this 1 person that they love so much and can talk to all the time. Mine is my grandma, Bunny. She is the toughest and most brave person I know. If you think you are brave just wait till you hear about this wonderful woman. In my 10 years of being alive, my grandmother has made every day on this earth a miracle. She has always been caring for everyone no matter who they are. To be honest I could never be as courageous as she is. She taught me a very important lesson in life, never give up. She lost so many people she cared about yet she never gave up. Throughout the years she has given me so much hope and forgiveness in my heart, she helped me bring God into my life, and for that, I can never thank her enough. Without my grandma, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. The reason I wrote this is so that you know that the people in your life young or old have a huge impact on who you are. Never ever let those closest to you go because if you do you will never forgive yourself.

My Goals in life

I have a few goals and I would like to share them with you.

  1. Go to the University of South Carolina
  2. Become a teacher and help grow young minds
  3. Have a loving family
  4. Live in a country house on the lake
  5. Be a good grandmother like mine

And those are only a few of my goals in life

Sick

I have strep throat. Most people know strep as a little sickness but when you have it you know it is not just a little sickness.

Whenever I get strep for some crazy reason the only symptom I have is, my throat hurting. I kept on complaining about my throat so my dad ended up taking me to a minute clinic. Then the doctor tested me for the flu and the strep the flu was negative and so was the strep. Then they took the test for strep again because they said that if you take the test for strep to fast it could give you the wrong answer. So they took it again and about 2 days later my mom picked me up from school in the middle of lunch. I asked her why she picked me up and she said I had strep. So I went back to class got my stuff and left school. The funny thing is my brother said to me that they were breaking me out of school. When we got home I did not feel that sick so I played with Spence. But then my throat started hurting like crazy so I laid down and asked my mom for medicine. So about half and hour later we went to pick up my medicine and then we went to pick up McDonald’s. I only got a small vanilla ice cream with a Sprite and my brother got an entire happy meal with a chocolate milkshake and Sprite. The next day I felt even worse it was like knives were stabbing my throat. And know here I am writing for you guys. And I want you to know even when I’m sick I will always write for you, even when I’m throwing up I will always write for you. So this post is not supposed to tell you that I’m sick it is supposed to tell you that I will always write because writing is like a second family, you guys are like a second family. So what I’m trying to say here is that I love you guys.

Having a brother with Autism

Dedicated to my brother Spence!!!

Who is my brother Spence?

Spence is my brother and yes, Spence has Autism but that is what makes him so unique. Spence is so nice and if I could give him one thing that he doesn’t have, I’ll give him all of my kindness and all of everything I have. Spence is the most talented person I know and I love him for everything that he stands for.

What is Autism???

Autism is a serious disorder. There are more than 200,000 cases per year which means its super common. One common symptom is to have trouble communicating with other people. And that’s why me and Spence will fight sometimes but I still love him. Spence has high functioning Autism which means he is not in the state of all the symptoms.

What Autism is to me?

To me, Autism is good and bad. Autism is good to me because its one of the things that makes Spence the most specialist kid in the world. And Autism is bad to me because my parents have to pay more attention to him than me but I roll with it and again I will always love him just the way he is.

Life

Life is good and bad. Its good because my parents make/let me play with him more than ever and I will admit I love spending time with Spence. And life is bad because I have stand up for my brother when sometimes its super hard to.

My new dog Blue

School

Okay, this weekend I threw up. And around after lunch I went home because my stomach hurt. And to be honest it was probably just because I did not eat. My dad told me that my mom was out shopping of course I believed him. My uncle went to pick up my brother Spence.

Home

When my mom got home I saw a dog just walking in our house at first I asked if it was our neighbors new dog, Lilly. Then my dad said “no” and told me it was our dog. I screamed and gave the dog a big hug. After I gave him a hug I asked what his name was then my mom said we are going to name him “Little boy blue” but we would call him Blue. Then a few minutes later my friends came over because they saw my parents and me and my brother playing with him in the yard. Blue started throwing up from being car sick.

That night

That night I slept on a mattress in the room Blue slept in. Around 12:00am I woke up. Blue was barking like crazy so my mom let him in the bed with her then I hopped in the bed with them. He would not stop chewing on things so I went downstairs to get a toy for him to chew on. He slept in the bed with me and my mom and everyone slept well.

What happened to my Dog?

I was having the best day ever and I could not wait to tell my mom and dad. That morning I felt like something was wrong, it was like someone was telling me not to go to school and to just watch the dogs. Of course I went to school and the next thing I know its time to leave. I got so exited I almost screamed and trust me when I’m scream I’m super excited!

Well, I had a good day but I had no clue what was coming for me. I went home and there was no one there to pick me up so the bus driver was going to drop me of at my house. But then my uncle came and he got me and that’s when I saw Sampson laying there without moving. I ran up to him and threw my backpack on the ground and started to cry.

What happened to Sampson

About the next day at 9:00 pm or 10:00 pm the vet called us and told us what happened. So basically what happened was Sampson had a heart attack all the sudden Sampson unfortunately was not able to survive the heart attack. We miss him so much…I just can’t talk about it anymore right now.

Swimming

What is swimming to me?

Okay, for the basics I love the sport swimming, but the saddest thing is, I can’t swim in the school year because my parents only let me do it in the summer. And right now let’s just say that’s a while from now! To me swim is like whole new world filled up with water and only me and my swim team members can find the portal.

My swim past

I started swimming when I was about 6 months old well, at least my parents say that. The first place I ever set foot in water was a community pool. Today, I love to swim with all my heart and hope to never ever have to let it go. You may like soccer or football but not me I like swimming.

My Mom

Who is my mom???

My moms real name is Lindsey. She lives with me my dad, my brother, and our 2 dogs and a hamster. She loves her family more than anything in the world and she has the biggest heart ever. My mom was born on April 11, 1982 and now she is 37 years old. She is having the best time of her life with her husband Bill and her 2 kids, me and my brother Spence.

About my mom!!!

Her favorite hobby is crafting things with family and friends. She worked until we moved in April…My Mom LOOOOVED working! She says she’s going to go back to work as soon as we get settled. If I guessed right, her favorite animal is a dog. My moms favorite holiday and food is probably Christmas and any food cooked by my dad Bill. My moms favorite song is probably “Brown eyed girl.”Because my dad Bill sings it to her but instead of “brown eyed girl” he says “Brown eye girl” because my mom is blind in one eye and is not in the other. . My mom has 2 brothers and 1 of them is here on earth and the other died when she was 15 and now lives happily in heaven.

My mom and dad!!!

My mom and dad were married on May 1st, 2010. They now have been married for 10 years. My parents love each other more than ever and want to be together until the day they die. If there love was a battery I know it would never die.

Christmas Day!!!

What happened?

Okay, today I’m writing about what happened on Christmas, so lets start. So on Christmas Eve I did not want to go to bed but of course I had to. Then the next thing I knew, I woke up but it was super late. I did not care so I went to go wake up my parents and stuff but then I looked at the clock and it was only 1 or 2 in the morning. I realized that my mom was awake and her glasses were all foggy and Santa was just around the block and was coming now! I rushed to my room and tried to fall asleep, but for some reason I could not. Then I said to myself ” Just fall asleep” and the next thing I knew it is Christmas morning. First thing I did was wake my dad up, then my grandma, my brother, my uncle and my mom. I screamed at them and said ” HURRY UP ” and trust me they did.

What did I get?

So, I woke up my family and now it was time to go downstairs. When we tried to get downstairs to see, wrapping paper was covering the way. So then we pushed all the wrapping paper out of the way and the first thing I saw was my hover board and my electric scooter which was awesome. Then I started opening and then my uncle told me to look in this one gift…it was my VERY OWN Chromebook/Computer inside! And after that I screamed “thank you” and other that my dog Sampson I got last year that was the best Christmas present ever.

Visiting Santa!!!

So yeah, it’s Christmas and I have to visit Santa today with my Grandma, Uncle Paul, my parents, my Brother Spence, and my dog Sampson. And yeah, I’m so excited but I’m also scared because I have no idea what I’m going to tell him and I have no idea if he’s the real one. Before we went to see “him” my uncle and I went to Panera to see if there was anything there for my mom and/or my grandma for Christmas. After that, we looked for a way to find Santa…then we found little feet that said “Follow Santa.” We followed the footsteps that eventually led us to Santa. The Santa that was there did not look like the real Santa but at least the beard was real but he was definitely not the real Santa. And the best thing was they had cookies there for free and I think they were Sugar cookies, and I love Sugar cookies! And this might sound weird but I asked Santa “if every poor or homeless person could have a home or become rich” and then he said “I’ll try my best to help that wish come true” and after that I just asked him for a Nintendo switch and a iPhone 11. Then after we left the store with Santa me and my Uncle ran off and went into shops. One of the shops we went to he got me a puppy key chain that you could put hand sanitizer in and a bottle of perfume that smelled like apples and honey. And then we left and found my parents Spence and my grandma Bunny, well at least we call her Bunny her real name is Donna. Then shortly after that we left and came home. And then when we got home, we started to find porkchops all over the flour. Oh, and do you remember my dog Carolina? And then we realized that Sampson came with us so Carolina must have eaten a few porkchops but she did not really eat them she just poked a few holes in the bags. And that’s what happened when I went to see Santa.

MY LIFE

I think every piece of writing is better when you have dedication. I’m going to dedicate this writing to my brother, Spence. He has shown me that even when life is breaking you down to get back up again because tomorrow is always another day.

2011

On June 20,2011, I was born at 12:01 am. I may not be old enough to remember when I was born, but I know that when I took my first breath I was the happiest baby ever! Yes, the day I was born was amazing! That day had to end and I didn’t want to go to bed…but I was so tired! I was finally able to close my eyes and the next thing I knew I was 2 days old.

2012

Now I’m 1 year old and life is pretty good. I have a  perfect family, a loving Father, and a loving Mother. At the time I had 2 dogs named Sophie and Zeke. My parents had them before I was born and they were the nicest dogs ever. If anyone tried to get near me,  Sophie would bark at them but not bite. Like I said before, I’m 1 and I love life. I may not be able to talk yet, but I know life’s great, and being 1 is also great.

2013

Now I’m 2 and life is even better. Now that I’m older I get to do way more things than I could when I was 0 and 1. Sophie and Zeke are getting older but they are still the best dogs ever and Mom and Dad are the best parents any 2 year old could wish for. And I want to be just like them. They are so smart and they always look right into my eyes and say “I love you.” And like I said before, I love my mom and dad and when I’m older I’m going to be just like them.  So being 2 is fun but it won’t last forever.  As you know, next year I will turn 3 so I plan to have as much fun as possible while I’m 2!

2014

Now I’m 3 and this year my new brother Spence was born! It was probably the best year of my life. Spence was born on May 12th, 2014. When I met Spence, I realized that my life was going to change forever after that day. So like I said before, I’m 3 and my brother Spence was just born. I love him more than ever. Spence is the sweetest most loving and most fun baby ever! When I was walking out of the hospital I was proud to say ‘I am Spence’s sister and I always will be his sister even if i’m not here I will always be there to support him and to love him.

2015

I’m 4 and I’m so excited because next year I’m going to be in Kindergarten. My brother Spence also turned 1 this year and he is the cutest 1 year old ever at this time I got to see a lot of babies but none of them are as cute as my brother Spence. Sometime this year I’m going to kindergarten and I’m so scared I could scream like how do I know that this is the right school for me, how do I know I will make friends, and how do I know I will be smart and funny like Spence? And Spence won’t come to school with me to make me feel better when I’m sad, so yeah I think I’m scared.

2016

NOW I’M 5 AND I’M GOING TO KINDERGARTEN!!!!  I’M EXCITED…MY MOM IS EXCITED…MY DAD IS EXCITED…EVERYONE IS EXCITED JUST FOR ME!!! My first day at school was the best I met so many friends. I will never forget my first day at school.

2017

This year was the saddest of them all.  Remember Sophie? This year she died. I woke up and realized my mom had been crying and then she said that in a minute she will have to take Sophie to get put down and right then I looked at Sophie and gave her a big hug and started crying. The worst thing was that same year I got a new dog at first I thought we were trying to replace Sophie but then I realized we were just trying to give her a home so that year wasn’t the best year ever but at least we got a new dog and we still had Zeke. You may think this year was the worst,  and it was but the whole thing wasn’t that bad because we got a new dog. We named her Carolina because she lived in different animal shelters all over the Carolinas before finding her fur-ever home with us! My mom says Carolina is so much like Sophie and reminds her of the movie, “A Dog’s Purpose.”

2018

This year was so fun because this year for Christmas I got my very own puppy. We named him Sampson. Now we had 3 dogs Zeke, Sampson, and Carolina.  Now I’m proud to say that we are a family of 7. Now that we have 3 dogs life is hard because there is so much stuff to remember about their food, their medication, and many more. So this year has been amazing but we still think so much about Sophie because she was a big part of the family. I mean we loved her and she loved us but we don’t get too sad because I know she is in a better place and she will no longer be in pain so I’m happy because I know she is in a better place.

2019

I’m so sad this year because I already lost Sophie and this year I lost Zeke. So I was just at school and then when I came home my mom made me sit down at the table.  I knew Zeke was old, so when she started talking about Zeke I thought he was getting put down tomorrow so I asked her if I could come then she said he already died. I started crying and ran to my room I was so upset I wanted to be with Zeke and Sophie. This year may have been sad but it wasn’t all sad because this year we moved all the way to a different state! I’m in a new school, with new friends, and have great neighbors! I’m loving it so far.

2020

This year was honestly not the best. COVID-19 shut down the whole world, including schools, hanging out with friends, stores, and way more! However, living in a neighborhood with caring and supportive friends truly helps. Good news, I got 3 new dogs!! They all have the goofiest personalities and they are just the sweetest things. We named one Blue after his adorable colored fur. The second one was named Roman the Rona Conqueror because we got him almost exactly when COVID-19 was flooding everyone’s TVs. Finally, Oscar, my mom likes to call him the devil because of his stubborn and headstrong personality. A Great Dane growing taller by the second, a Mastiff, and a Yorkie Shih Tzu mix that looks like a butterfly compared to Roman and Blue.

2021

COVID-19 is still around however we have started having more access to schools, stores, etc. as long as you wear a mask. While the mask is uncomfortable it is better than not being able to go anywhere. I can not write about 2021 without telling you about my grandma. She and Jack are amazing people that deserve the world and they both give that to each other. This year was the big year when they got married. Being able to see your grandparents on their wedding day is truly an amazing experience most people don’t get to celebrate. I know they will treat each other with unconditional love and enjoy every moment they spend with each other.

2022

To start off this amazing year, our parents surprised us on Christmas with a trip to Disney World which happened a week later. Our family had an amazing time however half way through our trip Dad got Covid. While he didn’t have as much fun as we wished he suffered so our family could have fun and that is what every father should do. I also graduated elementary school and moved on to middle school. Most of my friends went to another school however I made so many I am so grateful for.

2023

COMING SOON!!
