"Cathedral”

 My life lesson was things can change, very fast. My ex-stepfather was becoming very close into our family I began to accept him as one of us, although it was hard for me. We had a great life my mother is a nurse practitioner therefore we were “well to do” no money worries what so ever. We had nice cars, nice home and all the great amenities you could imagine. My mother’s ex-husband which took over the finances of the house began to buy drugs instead of paying the bills. We began to plummet into debt. With it getting worse each day he “ditched” my mother and I. leaving us with seven dollars in the bank account and a tremendous about of debt and being behind on bills. My mother and I had to leave our nice house and move to a shabby duplex to be able to catch up which took us a long time. I went from having whatever I desired to what we could afford which wasn’t much. So I am very thankful for everything in my life.
