Determination Pt 2: Witnessing
Once I moved here to PEI, my true self started dying out and it was probably because I have witnessed death and that feeling you get when someone dies has never gone away. With my luck, death came in threes.
On mother day in 2006, as my family was preparing for the mothers days meal we had every year that consisted of Chinese food and lobster, I was outside in car listening to Cd’s. The first thing I heard was screaming, my aunts piercing scream and I looked up to find my grampa’s body just laying there with the van on top of him. I watched on as my grampa got crushed by the van and all I did was sit there, probably in shock but I did nothing, I had no reaction.. I didn’t even cry.
Truth is I don’t mean to bring up old memories or even get negative.. but these deaths made me who I am today, among other things but these were the main factors that made me become the person I am today, whether it was good or bad, this is me.
