So I have this desire to write down my story or at least what I can remember of it... before that becomes less and less.... I was born in July in the year 1978.... it was the 26th the day after my grandfather's birthday... I am the youngest of 3 children... born to Michael and Marsha... Marsha the oldest of 3 girls and raised as a Navy brat.... Michael the oldest of 6 and lived in a small neighborhood in Richfield MN... they met in Norfolk VA when my dad was in the Navy.... my mom was a Sr in high school... they were married in the summer of 1969 and had their first child in 1970... it was a boy named Robert after his grandpa... a man I never met.... they had a daughter in 1974 Lisa... who was born just weeks after our paternal grandfather passed away from a stroke he was 57 years old... I do not remember much of these first years...
