Antonius Girgis Autobiography

Antonius Girgis was born in Queens, New York on October 17, 1990 and moved to California when he was 2 years old. While living in California at the age of 3 both his parents passed away in a car accident. He was taken under foster care at the age of 3.

He wanted to get off drugs. He wanted to change. He did change. After he was clean he wanted to fix things that happened with the girl he got pregnant. One day he went over to her house and saw that what was once in her stomach is now a 1 year old baby named tony. After a quick glance he took of the baby, the girl would shut the door in his face. Everyday he’d go visit her, and everyday the door would get shut in his face. He once told me, “it hurts when a girl slams the door in your face. It hurts when u can’t see your own son. If I was in her shoes, I wouldn’t take myself back either. She has every right to slam the door in my face. All I care for now is her finding a man that can take care of my son and...
