Chapter One: Beginning

Years 0-5

Honolulu Hawaii: Nov 18, 2008. 11:00AM-12:00PM. I was born near a military base close to pearl harbor where my father was serving at the time. There isn't much to say about my birth, it was pretty uneventful, but what did go on during these first 5 years of my life i will get into speaking about. As previously stated i was born on base in honolulu where my dad was serving, i was named Joshua. the most out of this time period that i canremember is me walking for the first time, this was when i was around 2 years old. Fast forwarding a few months, i had left hawaiito go live with my family in georgia, a place i would come to hate as time went by. However, for how little i was, i didn't evenrealize i had moved until i was told at the age of 5,fast forward even further, we're in a different pace in georgia, on another military base, this base being fort stewart. This is where my life's struggles started, my father, Ben, and my mother, Lisa couldn't manage to keep their marrage together, my father wouldn't stop behaving like a man-child, and my mom had to hold my fathers hand just to get him through a basic education. so in that moment, i lost my dad for what i remember being a year and a half. After this, me, my mother Lisa and my brother Andrew (born Apr 2, 2002) left fort stewart to live with her mother and step-father, those two being named: Jan and Robert Lowery, Rob being more of a father figure in my life than any other person, even my biological father. we spent almost 2 years in that house, which i will get into in the future, however for now, i believe this is a good place to end of chapter 1.
