It was such a lovely thing to have your family around the dinner table no matter the occasion.
That is what makes every event feel special and create unforgettable memories.
It was starting to become difficult to believe that i had made a remarkable journey to be where i am today.

Everything about me has dramatically changed.
My parents became working class citizens and would often argue
most of the time when I was both at home and in school.
I can only remember one episode and then what happened afterwards,it still lies on in my head.

Flashback
"Mom,Dad stop arguing i want to finish my homework in peace"
But deep down i knew that there was no chance of silence.
"Sweetheart if you want silence go elsewhere"said Dad
"Where??"
*Somewhere you can't be seen or heard by either of us"
I pack my bags and walk down the stairs towards the door.
I put one foot out the door to find someone pulling my bag pack.
Where do you think you are going to ??
I told them the truth.
"You told me to go somewhere else and i will"

I leave and start to cry.
I was going to have a breakdown at this rate.
As i was walking along the pavement i see a familiar truck pull up at the path.
The truck was owned by FP.
He pulled down the window and asks me if i am OK.
I reply and step inside the truck.
He had drove me to his place.
A single apartment enough room for two people.
He had been so generous to me and i had been grateful for everything.

I don't want my daughters to have the same upbringing i had.
