Childhood

Cristian was born as the son of a Brazilian musician, but soon moved to Venezuela with his mother. In 1986 they moved to New Jersey where he spent the rest of his teens. He only knew his father, Marcello Machado, halfway through his teenage years. His mother told him his stepfather was his father, and he found out only when his father called him, and told him he was his real father. Cristian told his father he did not want to see him. Today, however, he communicates with his father through e-mail and phone.

Famous quotes containing the word childhood:

    and I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
    because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and
    they’ll
    probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
    all the while I was quite happy.
    Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)

    But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland. It becomes a hell.
    Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
