First Born Middle Child

Boston 1963. By moving to Boston my dad told me he played poker on his first night and since he was really good at it, he won a paint company from one of the players. That was to become his new job owning and running a paint company. And my mother at this point was pregnant with me. And in January 1963 I entered the world as a preemie. I just became the firstborn middle child. Sure, they were happy about my birth. My dad always said I was the beginning of the last kids and chance of a family. For my mother I was her third daughter. She said it had my sister Jada in which we are 16 months apart. And I had a sister named Monique who was about six years older and lived with my mother's mother. My mother had had her as a teen, and her mother then took her and raised her as her own. She told my mother that if she had any more kids that she would not help her take care of them. One mistake is accepted but two are not.
