Answer 5

My Aunt Laura.   She was my bio dad's oldest sister.   She had major health (heart) problems from the time she was a teen.   She had a hysterectomy at 18 because they felt another child would kill her.   She spent weeks on end in the hospital.  When I was born she was 42.   She died at 56.   She had 1 child, 15 grandchildren  (she was a grandmother at  33) and never missed a harvest (farm wife).  

Visiting her in the hospital when I was 13 - we talked for over an hour.   I told her I had just met this wonderful boy and I was going to spend the rest of my life with him!  She said that was great since we had the rest of our lives we didn't have to rush into getting married.   (She was disappointed her daughter got married at 14.)   She encouraged me (us) to make a life plan.

My best swedish friend, Gustav.

He was like a brother to me. He taught me how to play basketball, football (soccer), and pokeman! He was the only one who supported my decision to move to america to better myself. I appreciate everything he has done for me! I am a better person because of him.

Answer 7

I did.

For every action and, decision i make, is what affects my life in various ways.
