A Life Changing Road trip

(My wife in 2005)
I wrote the account of the accident for my fb page in 2014

27 years ago, almost to the exact second, on October 26, 1987, mine and my wife's life changed forever. Well considering how so many have have either unfriended me, or ignore the things I post, I thought I would still offer the following, which is an account I wrote about that, "Life Changing Road Trip".

Many have asked about the circumstances that led to my wife becoming a T-6 paraplegic. The short version we usually give is that we were passengers in the back seat of a car that plunged 30 to 50 ft down an embankment of a small country road in Montana. That is the short to the point answer we usually give to anyone we don't know all that well. A few years ago I decided to write a more in depth account of the accident, so what follows is the account of the day our lives changed forever.

A Train Ride From My Past

A reflection On My Past

I first wrote this account in 2010 when I was still writing for the Chico
Enterprise Record. I did edit some of it to reflect more accurately the years
since the events took place, but otherwise it is as I originally wrote it.

Have you ever wondered how people get from point A to point B? I don't mean in a physical mileage way, but rather an emotional, phycological, and spiritual way. We all take in our surroundings and make decisions based upon the way we see things happening, and the way we feel. Then we get to a certain point in our life when we take an inventory of how we are doing. Sometimes we're relatively satisfied, other times we're disappointed, but do we ever really reflect upon the decisions we made that ultimately got us to point B?
