This book will take you into a journey of life as it occurred to my father and his seven children, through the unexpected death of our Mother, ages ranging from twelve years of age to four months, me being the youngest. Witness the chain of events that lead my family from the United States to Mexico more than once and how the challenging turn of events after my Mothers passing turned into blessings during the years my Father was our responsible guardian. Our lives during this period was an amazing journey. The difficult moments we faced prepared us to become better individuals as God poured out his grace with amazing blessings. Sometimes blessings are not of material gaining but of that unconditional love coming from close family member and relatives that was given to us during the most venerable time in our lives called childhood.

I hope you find inspiration and hope through the journey my siblings and I walked during the early years of our life because It is about us and our walk through life's challenges with its disappointments, happy moments full of laughter, winning moments full of cheer, loosing moments full of tears, separations and re-unions. This sums up our early years of life, with God in control. Enjoy the journey.
