I got this as my first tatoo my freshman year in High School, its not the best looking tatoo but i drew it my self. it represents my family and the love i have for them. it includes my parents bother my brothers and my sister who passed away.
Parents, sometimes it feels like you cant live with them but you also cant live without them. I myself got really lucky to have the parents i do, they both have worked very hard to get our family want we needed. My father came straight out of High school and started working for GE nuclear (he is an employee of 35 years now). He told my brothers and i (i have 2 brothers i will get to) he has worked and will work this job so that we never have to go through what he did. Although my younger brother Alex and i work for the same company as he does we both know that we can never amount to our father and that the stuff he has been through has been hard but has always been for us. After graduating High school my mom went to a two year college before started to work for GE as well. At this time they lived in San Jose California, they met at GE and later got married. They then had my older brother Zachary Adam Sandoval. About 4 years after having Zachary my father got a job in Mentor OHIO, at this point my mother was no longer working she stayed home with my brother. About 2 years later They had a baby girl, Julianne Sandoval. Julianne Passed away a few months later from SIDS. Sortly after my father got a job at another plant right down the road and my parents and brother moved to Cuyahofa Falls, (330) where i was born about a year later, Nathan David Sandoval. Now i was the cutest baby of them all haha my mom told me so. About a year later my parents would have one and final child Alex Micheal Henry Sandoval(the baby and still is to this day). My parents raised us right they were very strict made us work for what we got as children, and between the three of us boys we protected each other. Family to the sandoval family is a strong bond, we cant be broken. We have lived together and we have lived apart but we are always one thats just how we are. My father got a job in Wilmington NC in 2006 the year i was a senior. He came back for my Grad party and at the end of it he pulled me off to the side and ask me if i would move down with him. I knew i wasnt ready to leave but i also knew my dad was living 684 miles away(thats from where he was staying to our driveway) and he had never been that far from his family before and on top of it he had been doing it for 7 months. the following year was my younger brothers senior year, my dad and i drove back almost every friday, we would leave at 6 A.M so that we could make it back to see his football games, and the same for basketball season. after he graduated my mom and my brother moved to NC, by this time i was ready to go back to ohio, both my parents were heartbroken and i felt like i was dissapointing them but i wanted to get back to my older brother my nephew and his wife(like i said before my brothers and i are best friends, but something is different with my older brother we have been through alot together). i moved back and stayed for a little over a year where i met the most beautiful girl the most amazing person i had ever met(the girl from my very first post, which if you read you know how it ended lol we arent friends anymore she is to cool, or maybe i did to much for her and was always there for her thats why we arent friends lol). after she moved me back here telling me she was coming i had it rough for awhile i didnt have my older brother anymore my younger brother was now engaged and i felt alone. my parents have always been there for my brothers and i and have always done anything they can to help us. they helped me through this low time. My parents have always been PROUD of us, we all work hard, we all have done our own things but they were always happy for us. Something about my parents that you dont see to often anymore is that they still LOVE each other, they legitimently do. Yes they argue but what married couple doesnt, they still say I love you i know alot of ppls parents who dont, they still try to make the other happy they still laugh and as a family we still always do stuff together. We all miss my older brother and we all talk to him everyday, but he is there taking care of business just like my parents have taught him. Some ppl have said my parents do to much for us, that we wont ever know how do do it on our own, that i wasnt good enough for someone, well heres what i have to say to you. Fuck you bitches look where my brothers and i are now, we all live on our own, we all pay all our bills, we all have great jobs, and we all are our own persons, can you say the same? sorry i made this so long but i love my family and especially my parents who have put in so much time and effort to get us where we are today, us three boys(who are now men) gave them alot of shit through out the years(and sometimes that lead to the belt or the wooded spoon lol) but they taught us right and i thank them for it i love my parents THANKS MOM AND DAD.
