The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that touches lives
May 7, 2008-TCS # 100
OK Everyone, It’s time for the next installment of The Christianville Spirit Series, “Playlist of Your Life”. This time we’re going to venture into someone’s life that has a lot of legacy just like Popi’s life. This Person’s name is Julie Smith-Centeno (some people refer to her as Ms. Centeno or Momma J) However, I just call her My Mom. Julie S-C. Is the most awesome person you’ll meet. So, let’s see her life from the very beginning. She was born at Mt. Carmel Mercy Hospital in Detroit, Michigan and she was raised in Ann Arbor, MI. For this we’ll play “What a Wonderful World” by The Ramones. Later, she, Grandma Honey, Popi and the rest of the family moved to Maine and we’ll play “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane for that. After Grandma Honey made that program for unwed mothers and they moved back to Toledo and she went to a bad public school on the east side of Toledo and she had to Walk to school everyday and Everyday she would be threatened to be beat up. We’ll play “Bad to the Bone” by ZZ Top. It got so bad that She moved herself over to a All-Girls Private School called St. Ursula Academy on the West Side of Toledo. After High School, she decided to go to Nursing School in Toledo, Graduated, got a job at Medical College of Ohio and eventually led to driving herself to Texas because she wanted to see what more was out there besides living in The North and she ended up in San Antonio. And, as she drives to San Antonio we’ll play “Girls Just Want To Have Fun“ by Cindy Lauper. About a year later, she met Robert Centeno at a bar, who was later going to My Dad. After that, they dated and he proposed to her while he was in the shower. And, this is how he did it “Hey Julie, want to get married?” and then, they decided to get married. For this we’ll play “Wedding Bell Blues” by Fifth Dimension. Today, I ask her why they got married because My Dad is a shmuck and she says they got married because they thought it would be fun. But, then again it was a blessing because they had 2 children, My Brother and I and one of which was on August 11, 1987 which as she says was the best day of her life and that was when she had me. For this we’ll play “Best Day of My Life” By Jesse McCartney. On October 26, 1988; she had My Brother, Michael Centeno. After she had My Brother and I, they divorced and for this we‘ll play “Goodbye to You” by Patty Smith. When My Brother and I got a little older we moved up to Plano, TX. After that, she met Jeff Barsi who she would date a long time. And, My Brother, his kids, my mom and I lived together which was personally the best of the years of our life because we had a great childhood. For this we’ll play “So Happy Together” by The Turtles. After living together for 7 or so years; My Mom and Jeff Barsi broke up. And, My Mom, My Brother, and I moved to the house we live in now. My Mom today still is friends with Mr. Jeff and she thanks him every time she talks to him for giving My Brother and I such a great childhood. Today she does a lot of hard work with getting support for The Parents and The Kids with my special needs which is now called Potocki-Lupski Syndrome. All in all, My Mom is an awesome mom and I’m happy to have her as My Mom.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. You don’t have what you till’ it’s gone.
