My name is Alison Taylor.

My parents are Mac and Claire Taylor. My dad is the supervisor of a CSI team at the NYPD crime lab and my mom….well I do not know what she did or where she worked, because she died when the Twin Towers fell when I was just 1 month old. All I know is that I have her blue eyes and that's all. My dad usually, let me rephrase that, never talks about Claire, because their marriage was on the rocks before I was ever born. I was their last ditch effort to save their marriage, a lot of good that did now my dad just wants to forget.

So, I'll tell you about my mom that I do know. Her name is Stella; she works with my dad at the crime lab. She has beautiful long curly brown hair, shocking emerald eyes, and light bronze skin. And for as long as I can remember she has been in me and my dad's life.

When I turned 1 my first word wasn't 'dada' or anything like that it was 'Stella'. Then when I turned 3 they got married in a lavish fall wedding in Central Park, I was the flower girl. For my seventh birthday my wish was granted… I got a little sister, Gracie. When I turned 10 Emily was welcomed to the family.

And know that I am 14, I look at my family with a greater respect, so things in the past where not perfect, but no one is perfect and that is what makes us different
