Mother's side - Sugar cane farming in the St. Martinville. My mother is the youngest daughter of 10 children.
Father's side - Gramps retired from the military and did odd jobs post retirement. By odd jobs this mostly consisted of chasing women, getting drunk and alienating himself from his family. My old man is the youngest son of 3 children.
