Speak Up

My name is Sweetie B.. I am 20 years old and at age 16, My Daddy began using crystal meth. My Daddy who was then 33 has always been my best friend, my hero, my idol, and everything i wanted to be. He had me very young so we basically grew up together, but he was the best Daddy in the whole entire world! I always lived with my mom who was a self centered, all about her kinda person but she was always like my sister. My Nanny (her mama) was always like my Mama. She passed when I was 13 as well as my Pawpaw three weeks later and My mama slowly lost her mind after that. I finally gave up the dream of saving my Mama at about age sixteen, when i finally moved in with my Daddy. My Daddy wasn't like her. He stayed on top of everything. He made me get my agenda signed with all homework assignments and went over them. He made me go to bed at a descent hour. He had rules and blah blah blah. Mama didnt care, which made me want to stay with her but Pops was my best friend. He was the coolest person I knew, but i was his baby! And I remember everyday he'd say, "Everyday I wake up, I wake up for you!" "I get up and go to work everyday, FOR YOU!" "Everything I do, I do for you!" And at age 16 until now I've witnessed that hard working man turn into a completely different person, loose everything, and recently incarcerated. I knew in my mind no matter whatever happened in life, I'd have him. and now he's in prison in just those few years!!! Crystal Meth is the DEVIL!!!!
