Once upon a time

Oh how I wish my story was a fairy tale, sometimes I wish it was.

I am orginally from Guyana, South America the land of many waters. Although my parents was there for us and a part of my life I grew up with my grandmother for most of my childhood. My parents left Guyana for the US when I was ten years old. I felt like most of my life before that, my parents were never around. They were busy building the perfect life, working hard and were never at home. We spent most of that life between grandparents and our live-in maid/babysitter. My mom worked as a bank manager at the repitable bank in Guyana, the Barcleys Bank. My dad was a businessman doing whatever he did. Everything was going well in our lives, even though our parents were hardly around we were comfortable and happy. There were also special memories of my parents, Christmas were the best. I swear my father was excited about Christmas as much as we were, he was like a child. My dad also love to take us out on day trips, to the rural areas of Guyana, to the beaches or sporting events such as horse or car racing. Before my tenth birthday my life seems wonderful. This all change after my parents decided to give up everything and move us on a long vacation to Barbados.

Trying to find my way back

I have been away from here for a while... too much has been going on in my life! School, work, finding a tenant and our roof leaked terribly into our upper flat causing huge damages. Then my car stopped working, on a long trip from New york City to Albany it suddenly cut out on I87. It was scary because I was trying to pass two large freight container trucks, I was in the left lane going at 75 when all of a sudden the speed of the car dropped to 30... although I tried flooring it the car wouldn't move and people were blowing the horns behind me. That was my first experience of having my car cut out so I went into panick mode. After pulling over and saying a little prayer I was able to get it started again and was able to make it to Albany and to the dealer services. The problem was that dealers could not find the problem and returned the car to me. It continued to drive the car... it continued to cut out and I had to get it towed back to the dealer three times before the discovered what the problem was... the crank shaft sensor is shot. I'm just praying that nothing else goes wrong.
