Almost Tuesday again...

So I never took time to formally tell you people about myself, which is what I'm going to do now. I'm 19 years old, I live in Valmeyer with my grandparents, I'm originally from Duluth, MN. Both of my parents are in prison for sex crimes (non-related to eachother). I just met my dad for the first time this year in April. That was a very emotional trip for me, as I also met for the first time a son he had that I didn't know about until 2 years ago. Obviously, I had to meet him in prison which made the emotional factor so much harder, but I had to know who my father was. I get to go down and visit my mom a few times a year, which is hard because I never want to leave her. She is in prison for a crime she did not commit and I hate having to leave her in that place knowing there is nothing I can do about it. Her release date is September 2015, which I'm counting down the days for that date to get here. As a result of my mom going to prison my brother and I were placed in foster care. My dad's parents took me into their home after 4 months of me being in state custody, but could not take my brother due to finances and thier age. Therefore, he was adopted by a great family who allows me to visit and talk to him whenever I want.
