The Day My Life Changed

It was summer break in June 1994 and my two brothers and I were spending the summer with my Father. I was 13 years old, my brother Jason was 14 and Timothy was nine. My brothers had already gone home because it was my Mother’s birthday, but since I was attending summer school at the middle school near my Father’s house he said I needed to stay. I called my Mother to tell her that I wanted to come home for her birthday, she said she would see what she could do. I knew that she would probably wait a while and then call my Father and ask if I could come home for a while.
After I finished my homework my Father and I started to talk. I knew at the time he had fought in the Vietnam war but I did not discover until later the effect it had on him. He raised a family and worked on the same job for almost 20 years before the stress finally caught up with him as it did many of his veteran frien

I think about my Father often and wonder if things would have turned out different for me. Would I have made some of the mistakes I’ve made if he had been here? Would I be getting ready to graduate from college instead of just starting? Would I have the compassion I have for others I see suffering, especially the children. It took me a while but I have, however, come to recognize that we are basically in control of our destiny. The struggles we go through in life can either change us for better or worse.

The rest of the night seemed like something out of a television show or movie and I was one of the involuntary characters. The coroner’s office investigation of the scene and the ride to the police station for questioning about what happened are memories that I know will live with me for the rest of my life.
