I am a mother of a 21 yr old we have been through a lot together. I am a mother of one by birth adn 2 at heart I am  like an adopted mother of two of his best friends Dale who is also 21 and Ashley who I call ashberry because she looks like Hallie Barry who is 20 those two kids are like my own god only gave me one birth child however gave me 2 others to love as much as my own.

When Les was 18 in 2005 he quit school got mixed up with a woman who was 30 and into crack  and presction drugs.
