My name is Taya Elizabeth Cotiga. My dad named me Taya and Elizabeth came from my great grandma. I was born on October 11, 2004, at 10:43 am. I was such a cute baby or so my parents tell me. I have been told many times that my hair was beautiful and I was such a cute little girl. My mom said that I drove her nuts because I needed to be around her all the time, but she loved it. I loved life and had many friends. Everyone was my friend. I owned many dresses and even more shoes. Just a little secret, I could convince my dad to get me anything I wanted. He was a softy when it came to me. My brother BoBo was the best big brother anyone could ever ask for. He always took care of me and played with me. For those of you who did not know me that well, I sucked my finger. No matter how much daddy wanted me to stop, I just could not. I would have broke the habit eventually, I think. I loved school and wish I could have went every day. My life was the best.
