Probably the day I found out that my two close friends were killed while doing inventory at the Outback Steakhouse in Texarkana. That was the most horrendous day, and subsequent week, of my entire life.
The day as a child, something broke in me.
The same day I had my first panic attack, realized I’d lost my faith in the Catholic church a long time before and understood my own mortality.
I was eleven.
It made me who I am and I am grateful, but it was the single largest trauma in my life up until and for a very long time following that day.
And I wasn’t ignorant, I didn’t take that as an insult, it was a moment when many things changed inside me and in the span of a few hours my entire person was altered. It is still the single most important moment of my life. So…I don’t know. Maybe I wouldn’t take it back. It gave me strength, but it destroyed me combined with the reasons it came about for a few years.
Alright guys I’m gonna go with something a little more lighthearted, There was this one night I got a little too drunk and started dancing with this girl. About 10 minutes later she informed me that she was actually a man. I could go without that gender bending experience in my life.
Coming up on two years…....the day our granddaughter’s boyfriend was killed. They were planning on getting married. It’s changed her & our whole family forever.
There are so many days that have been truely awful, and I’m sure there are many yet to come. But the same goes for the good days I guess. Today has sucked though. :(
