Personal Childhood Web

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

My Oldest Sister...
Maiya showed me the toughest love and had the highest expectations for me. She wanted the best for me and succeed in life. We fought like cats and dogs, but she never stopped being my sister... She plans all the family trips and the gathering to keep the traditional going since my mom passed..
My 2nd Oldest Sister..
Maila was the hardest one on me because she saw the reflection of herself when she was younger. No confident, shy and all attitude. She told me, "don't make the people around you happy, make yourself happy that is all that matters." 
My Beautiful Mom... 
The battles and struggles she fought to make sure her ducks were in a row and we had everything to live comfortably... Unconditional love that last a life time.  The best memory I had with my mom was the long nights were stayed up watching movies together when no one else was home..

 My Two Only Brothers....
                                         Right: George Left: John
My two younger brothers who were like my older brothers. They supported me through my selfish days and gave when I didn't have anything. We use to play cops and robbers and house outside.
My Fiance...
Scott has supported and still does through whatever obstacles I overcame or currently overcoming. He has an unconditional love that keeps going...
