Chapter 1 Sorrow

My name is Jessie and this is my life story. I live with both my parents and I am the only child. He used to spoil me as the only child. My father is a police officer who loves and takes very good care of his family. He is a hardworking man. We are a very happy family and lucky to have him around. He takes care of a lot of people his wife, daughter, mother, siblings and people in the community. My father spoils my mother and I very much, we travel and explore the world as a family to create so many memories.

My father quitted his job and started became a criminal but he didn't let his wife know about quitting the job and committing crimes. The secret went on for months, until the day he was short while on a mission robbing a bank with his crew. While on the other hand we knew that he was working night shifts, he was short during the scene as he refused to surrender to the police me tried to act smart. He was short in the chest and by the ambulance reach the crime scene he ahad already passed away. We were called and informed about his death. We did funeral preparations and everything went well. When we got to know about his will, we found out that he had been spending all his pension money after quitting his job so we couldn't inherit anything from him and he had been owing banks so they took all the luxury cars and threw us out of the house. We had nowhere to go.

Some of the community members donated a shack for us to live in. And lended my mother some money to start a fruits and vegetables business so we could survive in the long run. My mother motivated me to study then passed the 10th grade and went to the 11th grade. I made sure I never disappointed my mother and made sure I pass my studies with flying colors.

No one from my father's family was supporting us the struggle we went through with my mother, but instead everyone has cutted all ties with us since we had nothing to offer them anymore.

We went through ups and downs and I helps her with the business during school holidays and her business started doing well as time went by....
