The Life of a Fatherless Family Ralph Norris

I was born in Baton Rouge Louisiana on December 5th 1970. I observed a lot of things most kids wouldn't have had at such a young age. I paid attention to how hard my mother struggled raising two young men and two young women to be very good kids to the very best of her knowledge. With her having the role of a mother as well as a father figure, things were very complicated it seemed. So as a young little kid there was a lot of things I didn't know or understood about responsibility, but I started learning really fast. I made my mother very proud because of my accomplishments I did to assist her. I was the only true man she had in her life to take away some of the burdens she faced daily, her oldest son.
