I would say it was my uncle being killed in a freak work accident. He spent a week in the burn unit on a ventilator before passing. He was 32 and had 2 young girls (my cousins) and being with them and my whole family really changed how I thought about them. I was a junior in high school so instead of hating my family for little things, I loved them even more even though nobody asked me how I was doing. I was suppose to be the strong one for them. My grandpa died a month later from a stroke and I’ll never forget that morning. I was heading to school and could hear the sirens coming from town and I stood in the driveway and just knew where they were going. Intuition sucks sometimes.
I’m sorry to hear of your uncle and grandfather. 32 years old is WAY to young to pass. That must have been very difficult for the family and especially difficult for his little girls.
Each of my kids being born was a life changing event, the passing of my father and my heart attack would be at the top of my list. All of those events changed my life forever.
yep she was 32 years old..mother of two little girls .. 1981 and it still hurts like hell. I don’t think I will ever fully accept it nor be ok. Same thing with my dad. Just never gonna be fully ok.
It seems we have a life and death theme going here. Of course having my kids changed my life and so did losing my parents.
I would have to say the day my youngest daughter asked me to stop drinking really changed my life.
Coming in France it was a moment that changed my life in a good way because i have the chance to find a good job and to do what i’ve decided to do with my futur. 🙂
What about you? 😀
The most life changing.. was my brothers death almost 11 years ago. 11 years at the end of may. He was 3 years old and I was 19 and due w/ my oldest at the time. He drowned in my parents pool. I’ve never been the same since..
Becoming pregnant changed my life forever.
Ahhh leaving school in this recession. It’s tough but teaches you a lot.

My dad dying at 57 years old…..in his sleep. It made me realize the gifts of family,friendship, and good health. 🙂
Becoming a mom and an orphan almost at the same time. That makes you grown up fast!
