Life Changing Moments

Life Changing Moments by jen

Here's my list of Life Changing Moments:

1. Being Born- my mother had a hard pregnancy, then we went through 30 hours of labor before they finally took me out via C-section. Just a few more minutes and one or both of us could have died.
2. My brother's birth- he was born when I was 2. One of my earlist, possibly my first, memories is going to see him and my mother in the hospital. I wore a care bear t-shirt. We were best friends.
3. Death of my Grandfather- when I was 5. His death caused changes in my life at that time and also for the future.
4. Moving to the country- after my grandfather died. We moved into my grandparents home, living with my grandma. Then my grandma moved into town to an appartment. We, however, ended up staying in the country for 15 years.
5. My Dad's lay off- around the same time for 2 years. We ate a lot of bologna. It was a very hard time for my parents.
6. Mom's menopause- she was diagnosed premenopausal at 35, it has been difficult on all of us.
