It began when I was a little girl growing up never in a million years I would have ever imagined that the mother I had was my grandmother. well I could not have ever asked God for a more precious blessing than her. she was always a hard worker,she worked two jobs majority her life to raise four kids. That includes me Margaret, Elizabeth, Sharon, Larry our beloved brother. we were good kids I would say we listen to what she told us to do. well as we were told by our grandmother that our mother named Virginia she was her youngest daughter that married a man from a small town called hickory Mississippi.And to this union she had five girls and one boy.As time went on they stayed together. but my father side if the family was very funny acting people and they mistreated my mom. But my grandfather who had some of the most beautiful green eye's loved my mom very much. My dad was the type of man who loved to gamble and drink well that's when the problems began my father was very abusive to my mother. He would go out and gamble his money away and come home drunk and get into a fight with our mom cause she wouldn't give him the money she had put away for us to have something to eat. well as time went on things got worse.I remember my mom sister telling me that when I was about two years old I was with my father's family and my mom was in the hospital had just gave birth to my youngest sister when the ambulance was called and they rushed me to the hospital. My grandma was at work when it happened.My mom sister who's name is Hattie went to the hospital with me. So my aunt called her mom and told her that the ambulance was. on the way to the hospital with me. when they arrived at the hospital the doctors told my aunt that if they had been thirty minutes late I would have died.They asked my aunt what happened my aunt explain it to them but it was only what my father's people told her, then the hospital got in touch with the police. The police came to the hospital and talked with my aunt about what happened.what my father's people told her was that I fell out of a swing and the doctors said there's no way she could have sustained the kind of injuries from falling out of a swing. so they went and told my mom who was in the hospital. My mom had just given birth to my sister and she had just died a little while after she was born. My aunt said they kept me in the hospital for months after my mom got discharged from the hospital, My aunt stayed with me day and night at the hospital. finally they let me go home after a couple months and told my mom I was her Christmas present.we all went back to hickory with my father and things still got worse.One day my aunt came home after a date with my father's brother. when she came in the house she noticed my father fighting with my mom her sister and she jumped on his back and tried to get him off my mom when his brother came in and shot her in the back.When the police arrived he told them the gun went off by accident but to be earnest I didn't believe that at all. well my mom and father stayed together and he said she was very jealous when she would see him looking at another women. she would slap him in the face and ask him what was he looking at he told me. My father also told me that my oldest sister didn't like him at all he told me all she would do is cry when ever he came near her. he tells me she was the most beautiful baby she had light skin and her eye's was so green, she long black curly hair.she didn't like him at all. he said she started running a fever when she was about 18 months old and there was nothing they could do to save her so she died. one day my mom and dad was on their way to meridian and my dad had a wreck and hit a bridge and my mom's head hit the top of the car.A few days later my mom started complaining and getting sick and having problems with her head. so my aunt called their mother and she went and got her and tool her to the hospital and they told my grandmother that my mom had developed a blood clot on her brain from the wreck.So my grandmother took all of us to her house and that's where we stayed.
