Where do i begin, the beginning. I was born and raised in San Benito, Texas, along with my two siblings, Rebecca and Richard. I thought for a great time that I was the oldest. That has changed with me knowing about my older sister, Katie. Nothing has changed much family is still there for me. I attended the education system of SBISD, didnt achieve my goal of a diploma; however, I did get my GED and graduated from community college. I don't regret any of the choices that I have made for if I did the present would pass me by. I've kept a good outlook on life. I now live in San Antonio, Texas with my wife, Esmeralda. We've been married since July 5, 1999. No children yet. God will grant us with them when he seems it neccessary for our lives to be enriched more. I've lost the greatest thing a person can have in this world. Their parents. My mother, Juanita Reyna-Soto, passed away on February 15, 2007. My father, Reynaldo L. Reyna, passed away on December 6th, 2010. I remeber it like it was yesterday. The emptiness that I feel within and the constant grieving has become a daily routine with me. I wake up and can't sleep for all I can think is of my mother and father. I'm becoming stronger by it. Dealing with the fact that both my parentsa are gone and trying to live up her expectations, I face everyday as a challange now. My attitude has changed. My anger and bitterness that I once had has left me. I don't understand alot of things but one thing remains. I love my mother and father very much and miss them both greatly. I've got my brother, Richard, and my two sisters, Beckie and Katie, to worry about. We're all grown, but yet I still feel that mom and dad would expect that from me. They were there when I hurt myself, needed to just talk for guidence, to correct my wrongdoings, and to be there for me. For now I can only take it slow to allow the healing to begin. Im currently have regretted some choices and things Ive done. Im only human.
