How Caleb Stilinski Changed My Life
On June 25, 2012 my life changed more than I ever expected.
First let me introduce myself, my name Caleb Stilinski I was born in Texas, but was raised in the hot humid Los Angeles,California. growing up I was a military brat,my father Capt.Stilinski was never around that much to experience the main growing up parts in my life because he was an active Navy Seal for about 10 years before I was born and still enlisted when my mother gave birth to me on September 3,1991 my mother never liked the idea of my father leaving us alone but that was the only way we had food on the table.
