My Heroes

I have three heroes. They are my mom, dad and sister. My mom and dad is my hero because they adopted me when I was six years old. I am really glad they did that. They basically saved my life. When I was not six years old yet it was just me and my sister. My biological mom was never home. She never bought groceries for us. She sometimes didn't pay the bills on time. We lived in a like apartment kind of place but no second story and they were all lined up. I don't know what that is called. Well my biological mom would always go out 24/7 and go gamble or go with other guys and leave me and my sister( a year older then me) at home. When my bio. mom was home she would lock us in the room and just lay on the couch with her boyfriend and watch movies( if you know what I mean). She would always abuse me and my sister. My sister took most of the abuse because she was older. My mom just hated her for some reason. Whatever she see was whatever she used. We were little so we didn't really know what we did for her to abuse us like that. Me and my sister Angela would always stay at home alone by ourselves. We had to steal food from the store across from our house to survive. I feel very bad that I did all that but it was either starve to death or steal food to live. My neighbors are my heroes to. I don't exactly remember them but yeah. They invited us to their house and play with their kids and gave us some food sometimes. I am really glad for the neighbors next door to us. They called the cops and told them that we were always home alone. That is when my parents heard about us and came to adopt us. I was afraid to get in their car when they came to get us but my sister urged me to go in. I am glad for that. Imagine if my neighbors never called the cops. My mom and dad now gives me the love and care that I need and never got. I want to thank them for that. They taught me things and manners. They have given me an education. I am really glad that they decided to adopt us.
My sister is also my hero because she took care of me when my bio. mom wasn't home. She tried to cook for me but couldn't because we were very little. She cut her hands trying. She was only like 5 or 6. My sister didn't get enough food to eat. Now she has to eat pills because she had very low iron. Well, my sister would take care of me like calm me to sleep when I was scared or crying for my mom at night. I don't know what I would have done without her. She took me the bus in the morning on some days because we didn't have an alarm clock so we didn't know when to wake up. She really just did everything that a sister would do if your mom wasn't there. I am really glad she was there. I have like a total of 8 brothers and sisters but my dad took them all and left me and my sister to my mom because we are the youngest. If my sister wasn't there for me I probably wouldn't be here typing this right now. I am glad for all my heroes.
