Annie's Choice

At four years of age, Jeffrey was holding to his mothers coat tails while she roamed the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Annie was attempting to escape the expectations of society and the responsibilities of motherhood. Jeffrey only wanted the love of his mother and followed her everywhere in the streets. He had to forage for food and shelter while Annie was searching for the means to purchase her next fix. Jeffrey would witness the stark reality of substance dependency without understanding the effects until his teen years.Annie was traveling south of the border into Mexico, when on a whim, she abandoned her five year old boy with some strangers on a busy freeway near the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. Annies choices would forever alter the lives of her children and all those who loved her. Her favorite child would suffer the abandonment of a mother.
