Family-Reflection

“There’s no way I can exaggerate or in any way overemphasize the impact that these last 11 years has had on the total movement of my life. During that time I lost my best friend (my dad) and “watched” helplessly as my mother went from a spry, hard-working wonder-woman to a virtual invalid. In the interim so many things have become clear to me, like the emotional and psychological ripple effect that my bad behavior has had on people I never meant to hurt, my family included. I look back at the person I’ve been and to be perfectly honest, I’m ashamed.” (11 years; Alger, Michigan)
