Ava Rosa Emilia Flores Pojida was the given name to me. I was born May 30 2001. I'm a loving, caring but also naughty child. I always do my best to make my parents proud and to cheer them that they were right for making me live. We all expect to die but we don't know what time. It could be today, tomorrow, or the following days. I was enjoying my life through the past years I've been alive. I have passed so many difficulties in life. Thankfully I survived all the challenges I need to pass. I'm no one right now without my family, friends, teachers and specially God. So I want to say thank you for making me who I am. Thank you for making my days here on earth even more special. I maybe not perfect but thank you for making my life worth it.
It has been too long since I last wrote to you, so I thought I would inform you on momentous events that happened in my life in the last little while. The previous time I heard from you was when Gabriel turned three. I can’t believe he is about to become a teenager now. My goodness, time flies by so fast. I was so ecstatic when I saw your prior letter arrive in my mail.
And above all, to God, who has always provided everything I ever needed in my life and who tells us:
Couldn't do wrong with a chest full of chains and a arm full of watches
Pleiku, in the central highlands of Vietnam, is the closest thing that I have ever seen to a heaven on Earth. Waking up every day amongst the rice paddies, amongst the rich grasslands, amongst my people are all memories I will take to my deathbed. Despite this, since I turned twelve years old in 1965, it became clear to me that Pleiku was going to be my graveyard, that I was just biding my time, waiting for the inevitable bullet to crash through my skull; but I digress. See, I was not even a teenager when my older brother handed me a Kalashnikov and a bag of rice and told me I was going to fight the Americans. I am still not totally sure why I am fighting or why anybody else is, but I know this: they are monsters.
I first want to start off by thanking my parents.I wouldn't be here today without your unconditional love and support.Mom,you have done so much for me whether that be driving me around,packing my lunch everyday
But now, I would like to talk with you a little about my daughter, Arlyn Maria Johnson, who was born on Wednesday January 12, 1980 at Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville, the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen.
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
I was born early morning in Deland Fl. hospital on March 1, 1998. My parents named me
Thank you for acknowledging my thoughts and feelings whether they are positive or negative, justified or unjustified, right or wrong. I feel safe being myself knowing I can not be perfect and you will still love me.
I would like to say a special thank you to those of you that have traveled some distance to be here today. It is quite a humbling experience to realize that you have friends and family that care so much for you. And I do genuinely mean that....
I am also very thankful for my family who has always been there for me and supported me during all
Im thankful that I was able to be surrounded by the support group and family I have today. Many relationships I have are so much more valuable to me as are a lot of the lessons i’ve learned by going through that. That obstacle was important to me because without it I wouldn't be the person I am today. I would be the scared little girl in the back of the class with all the family issues who never sticks up for herself or others and doesn't have any friends. It was so important for me to persevere through that because had I not I wouldn't be here today as dark as it is I probably would have taken my own life. Today I know i'm important to others, i'm loved , and I would be greatly missed. We all have to persevere everyday whether it is getting up in the morning and going to school, depression, anxiety, or just finishing the plate of blazing wings to win a shirt at Buffalo Wild Wings. It's an important part of everyone's life and we can't live without
I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me. I don't think you realize how much you inspire me and I am so proud of the person you've become and are still becoming. I understand you've been through a lot and you haven't made the best choices, but I can see that you have grown. Truthfully, I've known from the first time I met you to now, that you were a strong person.
I would like to thank my mom. She has always been there for me, and has stood by my side when I have needed her the most. My mom is truly one of my best friends, and I know that I could tell her anything. She shuttles me wherever I need to go. She puts up with all of my attitude and the crap that I put her through. She sacrificed many things to put me through eleven years of private school. When we moved to Canal she listened to all of my ranting and raving because I thought that this place would be horrible. I love my mom and I always will and I know that she will always love me. Thank you mom for always being on my side.
On February 11th, 2001 at 2:22am , I was born at Home Hospital in Lafayette three days early. I was 7lbs and 20in. My mom wanted to name me Rose Lee Perrine, but my father wanted to name me Sarah Lee Perrine. My aunt then gave them the idea of Audrie because she loves Audrey Hepburn, and my parents loved it too. When we got home to my parents apartment, I got my first stuffed animal that was a Beaver named Chewy.
