The Village: Part 1.2
***The village is a collection of memories based on the premise that it takes a village to raise a child. I will be jumping around so if you see an entry that goes from part one to part five, it doesn’t mean you’ve missed anything. I will be getting back to other parts as I go. I just don’t know when inspiration will strike.

The Village: Part 1.1
I lay there motionless. Three years old with both my arms and one leg in splints elevated on slings. Every time I think about it, I can’t help but chuckle as the image of every hospitalized cartoon character comes to mind. I may have even had my head and face bandaged but I don’t recall. The events that led me to that cold somber room weren’t funny, but that is a story for another day. I remember constantly coming in and out of consciousness. Fading from light to darkness, then back to the light again.

The Village
I have often heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. I find that in my case, it took a village to form a man. Like many others, this village consisted of my parents, grandparents, siblings, extended family, teachers, and neighbors. However, unlike most villages, it also included adversaries, backstabbers, police officers, social workers and rival gang members.
