Recollection of the Unexpected In My Life
Reminiscing is something that I like to do. However contemplating on
the path I chose made me realize I had overlooked someone of importance. When I first met Bryan, he was dating my friend. I was sixteen years old and learning about the jerks in the world, for this is how I felt towards Bryan. I Understand that everyone we meet impact our lives. I have always felt like everything happens for a reason
My explanation for Bryan and my cousin to have had such a short time here on earth is called
karma. It is my belief that for everything wrong that a person does in this life there will be pay back for the wrong. I know that my uncle accidentally ran over a young man riding a motorcycle and his father paid off the family to keep him out of trouble. Also Bryan’s father was incarcerated for sixteen years out the twenty six years his son was alive. Bryan’s father could be compared to a gangster, in which taking of one’s life is not a troubling issue. Both bragged on the acts they committed.
May 16, 2006 while riding a motorcycle my cousin lost control and crashed resulting in his
death. He was twenty three, same age of his father’s victim Paul was my uncle’s only child. June 20,
2006 was warm and sunny, blue skies puffy white clouds, could not have asked for more. It also is my sister’s birthday, now every year on that day I remember what happened to Bryan .Every year until this year I have visited with Bryan’s dad and talk about Bryan. His father did not try to have much of a relationship with Bryan .Actually about two weeks before he died a conversation between him and I occurred in which he talked about his personal feelings. He so desperately tried to connect with his
