On February 3, 2014 my life changed forever. On this day in my life I lost my dad due to the reason he committed suicide. Well it all started because he was cheated on by his girlfriend of 8 years at the time, which they both worked at the United States Post Office, and his girlfriend had cheated on him with another co-worker. When my dad found out he was completely devastated and didn’t want to face anyone, so he quit going to work and all his normal routined stuff he did daily or even weekly.

As a result of his death, at the time, I got very depressed, to where I wanted to give up on life. I also separated myself from pretty much everyone because I wanted to be by myself and not have to deal with anyone’s problems.

I say this because family time is more important than ever now because I lost a big part of my life, so I realized my mom and my siblings are the only thing I have left, so I need to take advantage of the time I get to spend with them. Adding onto this, I live one day at a time and I really don’t look to the future, as the future is not always
