I am just like everyone else, just trying to survive in the world today. I was born in 1970 to Paul and Joyce Taylor. I have two bothers; one is older than I am and one is younger. I do not know where I got the ability to write the way I do. My father put me on a plane when I was 16 and told me never to come home. He sent me to my mother. I got married when I was 17 years old and had my oldest daughter when I was 20 years old. Right after she was born I came home. It never went very well with my father; we still do not talk. I divorced my daughter's father when I was 23 years old. At that time I lost my daughter. This is one reason I want to publish this, so she will know that I never will forget her. At 23, I met my youngest daughter's father. She was born a year later. At that time I started to help raise his two sons. When I started raising them they were six and four years old. We have been through some rough times and have made it through. Our oldest son has moved out and the youngest is getting ready to finish high school. I hope that this will make peoples' lives a little easier to live. Now we have been together for 11 years, and we hope to be together until we die. Now I'm at the point in my life that I want to leave something to let people know that I was here, and to give my children something to remember me by and to feel proud of their mom. They will know that their mom will live forever in every person's heart that reads this book, and hopefully more books, before I leave this world.
