A small excerpt of Aby’s life story told by, Aby with very minimal fabrications!

Growing up, there was a huge disparity between my siblings and me. I am 9-17 years younger than my siblings. I tell my parents that I was an accident but they always find a way to make their explanation on why I was born very florid and although I don’t always understand, it sure sounds nice! Growing up with such older siblings, I always felt servile. I felt like I had to do whatever my siblings told me to do whether right or wrong. I had to make them sandwiches or tea when they were hungry or bring them their stuff from the other room or car when they needed it. I was like their personal little servant. They never allowed me to make any “egregious” errors like to forget to wash my hands before making their snacks or to let their backpacks, coats, or bags touch the ground when bringing them into the house. If I did, I would always be reminded about “that time you dropped my tie in the puddle” or “that time you let the dog lick my bag.” Sometimes, I would cry because they were mean, but my mom was always there to alleviate my sorrows.
