Events That Shaped My Life

My life was like a roller coaster. There were many ups and downs. Some events that helped shape or change my life were getting married. Virginia, my wife, and I got married secretly. We were afraid our parents would disapprove. She changed my life forever. Without ever meeting her, I wouldn't have died so early. Her death sent me into alcoholism, drug abuse, and depression.

Another thing that changed me forever was when my dad leaving my family. It was a obstacle that took me a while overcome. If he had never run away, my family would have never been separated. I would also still be in touch with my brother and sister, William and Rosalie.

If my mother had never become an actress, she wouldn't have died so fast. I miss her immensely. We traveled so often she caught a virus and then that was it. My siblings and I were left alone to be adopted. Luckily Mrs. Allan was not an actress or an alcoholic.
