To be Traditional, or not

Well I may have written that as a Native American it is not easy to live life, because from the moment you have been created is when you start to look at where you would go. For me, my parents are “baby boomers” and I was raised during the time that laying hands on your child was OK. From being a baby and growing up, we as Navajos are told that we need to make sure that we exchange our clans in order to make sure that no incest or messed up people are born. My family is pretty traditional, especially with my mom being a daughter of one of the best medicine men out there. She came from a big family, but she was raised the Navajo way. Hauling water, herding the sheep on foot or horse, living in a hogan together, and sharing the responsibilities.

That is the way that it is supposed to be, but I have a cousin that I guess decided to ignore her clans, because the man she married happened to be her brother, who she also had a son with. That son is not right in the head, but the way these people take care of their children. Some people are not meant to have kids. But because my cousins husband was not traditional, he did not follow that and I guess they got together and had a son. I have seen her son grow up somewhat and at first he seemed to be a handsome boy, but the older he got the uglier and ogre-ly showing that he is not all there. Plus he used to be a skinny guy and now he just as big as his mom.

His mom of course can’t do anything for herself, I mean she graduated from UNM Gallup back in 1996 for Nursing, unfortunately she never rose more than just being a nurses assistant. She wanted to become a Registered Nurse, but she has failed the test more than 5 times. She is just like my aunt Julie, thinking that they know it all and thinking that they were above everyone else. So now that bitch is at home retired because she is so disabled and running around with the guy she cheated with, on her husband. Either way, everything will fall into place and karma is the bigger bitch, so prepare for the END!
