Where I'm From

The WHERE I'M FROM Template
I am from butterflies, fresh Crayola crayons, & long afternoons on the back porch with my dog lying under my feet.
I am from the second brick house on the left of Stoney Lonesome Road filled with laughter and organized chaos.
I am from sunflowers in the yard, with huge fiery blooms that remind me of the sun.
I am the first born granddaughter for both James Esposito and Jerry Efaw.
I am from a father whose love of dogs & laid back personality runs through me daily.
From a mother who always reminded us if we don’t stand for something we’ll fall for anything.
I am an older sister who guides, protects, and comforts.
I am from a place where freedom of speech is highly praised, and faith in your own self is treasured.
I'm from an Italian & Mexican heritage where we were raised on pasta & lasagna, enchiladas & rice.
From a cosmic family of friends whose love of music has created a forever bond.
From the colorful Charlotte “Shooky” Esposito & her contagious personality; whose ridicules stories are still being told.
I am from a legacy of spirited, outgoing women, who taught me the value of love, friendships, and family.
