My birth!
I was born healthy and strong February 13, 1984. My parents had been trying for some time and they got their wish, which I am happy about. Ronald Reagan was president and the movie Footloose had just come out, and visitors could still walk to the gate at the airport. -

My Life

Hit by a truck :/
Very scary and confusing time for me. I was hit by a drunk driver while riding my bike to a friends house. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and a large scar above my hairline. I had to be life flighted to Baystate hospital and during the ride I had no pulse multiple times. Some of the emergency personel said they thought I was too far gone, but others persisted to revive me because of my young age. I am happy they did so. -
My son Anthony's birth!
Scary and exciting time in my life when Anthony was born. I did well with the delivery despite my young age. I had to learn fast because it was an undertaking I was not emotionally or cognitively ready for. -

A micro level system event that affected my whole family greatly. He was a huge foundation to the family and helped sway me to move foward with my military career. -

Very exciting day for me. A microsystem event because Scott's addition to the family is a positive one in many way, skills and father figure to my son. -
My brother Pete was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Micro level event that affected all of the family. We all supported each other during the uncertain times and helped Pete and Jenn monetarily and socially. Everyone worked together to keep care of their young daughter and their household while Pete was in the hospital. It was a successful surgery! -

Macro system event that affected the entirety of Westover Air Reserve Base. Many people had stress about losing their jobs but our personel center did a good job of keeping everyone by moving people around. -

Death.
On this day is my death. I have lived a fulfilling life and never stopped educating myself and others keeping myself cognitively strong was a goal of mine. I have passed on good values to mine and Scott's children and have seen them grow up to have families of their own. I am spiritually sound and am at peace.
