If life gave ya the opportunity to change yer fate, would ya?


I am from a cabin in Mountain Wisconsin,

from late night hoggin’.
I am from the 4 dog 5 cat household I can call my own,
from 2 brothers and 1 sister.
I am from wearing shorts,
to trudging through a foot of snow to get to school
I am from family game night and laughter,
from Andrea and Jamie.
I am from making others lives easier in whatever ways I can
going to Cousins Subs putting in work since age 14,
From having it and not needing it
to needing it and not having it.
I am from the top row of church every Sunday
Cue Club burgers afterward.
I am from Milwaukee Froedtert Hospital.
on December 19th 1999
I am from succulent grilled brats
to juicy dill pickles on everything.
I am from stormy nights without power,
from the lighting of candles to destroying my family in board games.
I am from trips to Florida.
I am from Wisconsin...
