30 Day Challenge, Day 5~ My First Love

Juan Gabriel Macias Fernandez

Juan holding Tyler

Juan was a special person to me. When I separated from Whitney's dad, Juan stepped up to the plate and made sure I took care of myself and the baby. He really admired Whitney. He was and still is the love of my life. I will NEVER love anyone, like I loved him. Our relationship was not the greatest one. I will say this, Juan, NEVER verbally, emotionally, or physically abused me. The best day was giving birth to, our son, Tyler and the worse day, was finding out that Juan was murdered over the news.

I really think the hardest thing, I have ever done was looking into Tyler's innocent, brown eyes and telling him that his father was dead. The only thing I regret is that Tyler didn't meet his father before he was murdered. Tyler is determined to find the man that murdered his father. Tyler has family that he has never met, either. Tyler is a strong, smart, handsome, young man. The is little bump in the road is only gonna make Tyler stronger, as a person.
