Who made a difference in my life? 

Well to those that do know me and know that I am very guarded about trusting others, because of my past traumas. However, there was one person that would make the biggest difference and I would also make the difference in his life as well. I am referring to a person that I feel I can always trust and will have my 6 aside from my husband and daughter. He is also a Marine and him and I would both be the same rank just different branches. Also I am very wary about people that are younger than me, but this guy was mature to a certain point, but all in all made a difference.

Not many people know this person, I know my parents love him and so does my Rottweiler JoeJoe. He goes by the nickname I gave him when I was last working in Tohatchi, NM and that is Shmelvin. When I first met him, he was really quiet and then eventually I broke his shell and he opened up. He also happened to be the only other Navajo I have seen that has a beard! My dad has one, but he says he got that beard while drinking Wild Turkey and smoking cigars. We are related by clan and is known as my grandpa, but I feel like he’s more of a little brother.

All the years that we hung out was to give each other accountability on how we were trying to reach our goals of fitness. We sort of motivated each other and believe me, we have always drank a lot of water. A lot means about a gallon a day, because we both worked out every day. The point is that this person made me feel safe and I could trust to protect me if need be. Overall this was a relationship I am happy to have found. OOOoooohhhhrrraaa LCP Jackson.
