So my dear listener, I hope you can sit back relax and let me tell you a story You love me now. We love you now. Let us remember why. Knowing is loving. All knowing is all loving.

We begin. We begin early in the memories. The bleeding in

my gums didn't seem wrong until a lady at church scolded my grandma to make my mom keep me right.

She got strangers from the church to make sure the right tests were done and stainless steel crowns put on every one of my baby teeth.

I heard a doctor tell my grandma about damage done to me before I was born, from how my mom lived, but still it didn't seem wrong.

It was just me.
