The Great Big Back Yard

by April Diss

 

Despite my youth, I have led a very full life. I am of mixed nationality and I mean mixed. My mom is a German-Indian, and My dad a black Cuban. When it comes to race I can check all but one box. I have also lived all over the country. My dad was an ex pro baseball player and we traveled everywhere with him. He played in the early 70's when racial tensions still ran high within the professional sports arena. I am now an expecting mother of 4, a college student, and I have been married to the father of all my children for the last ten years. I was married previously as well. Lastly, I am the oldest of seven children. I told you before that my dad is an ex baseball player. He left his aspiring career to become of all things, a minister. I grew up the black sheep but soon got back in my dads graces. I have thousands of stories, some tragic, some uplifting, some just for pure enjoyment. I hope you enjoy them, as this is my life.
