A month after I was born My Grand mother and I became very close because she thought I resembled her daughter (my mother).

My Big Brother Showing me Love

By Brother, Ross, is five years older than me but still acts like a little boy. His bright personality caused me to have the sense of humor I do today.

Bailey & Adonis

Bailey and Adonis were two Boxer dogs that I had when I was growing up. Bailey is the mature girl and Adonis is the young silly boy. They were always there to keep me company when there was nobody around and will forever love them.

Phenomenal Woman

My Mother, Krystal Kim, is the best person I know. She is my mother, my sun, my moon and my stars. I can't live without her. unfortunately in 2014 she got cancer and is fighting it and winning the battle!

Ross and Mom

On the right is my brother Ross. He's the coolest guy I know. He taught me how to fight and protect myself. He has been away at college for three years so there is an empty gap that only he can fill. But, when he comes home for the holidays it's the best time ever.

June Kim

This is my "Grammie", June Kim, she was one of the toughest old ladies I have ever known. Her last name is Korean because her wife was Korean which makes me 1/4 Korean. She has been on excursions across the world. That was her average vacation. Sadly she got colon cancer and lost the battle at 76 years old. That broke my heart when she died because she was my best friend and nobody on Earth that could take her place.

The Resemblance is Remarkable

This is a picture of me with a baby picture of my mother under me. we had similar features as babies and still today we talk about what facial parts we have of one another.

An Everlasting Smile

I was told that I was an easy baby to ra, and I believe thats because I was always happy. Depression is not in our vocabulary and this picture proves that. Even till this day I'll be caught smiling for no reason. but hey, who needs a reason to smile ever?

Vacation Time

mcmanusb17 — 2014-11-18 00:32:27 UTC

My mom and I love to vacation together. It's a family trait that we all share. This was on our visit to the Bahamas and it was a time I will never forget because it was quality time spent with my mom.

Present Day

This is me and my mom in present day. and the only thing that has changed was in increase in connection I have with her. She is still fighting strong and I am right by her side to fight with her.
