So is there any year I would relive. You bet, when I was thirteen, the year I received a bullet in the head. So, I can tell the cousin. I won’t be going with him down to the river and I would just run back to my grandma’s house. My grandma’s house was far away, but if I ran all the way. I could have been there in 30 minutes. There was a huge party at my grandma’s house. I didn’t understand why the cousin was not there. Yet, he proceeded to call me on the telephone and told me to come on over because his cousins and him were playing monopoly. So, I asked my step dad to drop me off at his house and he did.
It was January 1st 1988, we were going to go down to the river to shoot guns up in the air, to bring in the New Year. We were in Ariavipa Arizona. We went down to the river and that is when he proceeded to shoot me in the head and ruined my life forever. So, yes reliving this year would drastically change my life, probably for the better. If, I could get that cousin out of my life. Life would have been better. All he ever did was get me in trouble. Yet, we can’t go back in time, so it is better to stay focused on the future and hopefully it will be better than the present and the past. Thank you for reading. Happy Halloween π.
That leaking water main is a good choice for your reflection today. Your injury leaks much vitality form you each day the wa yI understand your writing. I’m so sorry. It’s as if it would have been a stranger moved by robbery that hurt you because a family member, a cousin, makes it so much more complicated. Four parents devastated by this mistake! And be sure your cousin is regretting it every day even if you cannot see it, our humanity does not allow self-blinded ignorance. There is so much here and all I want to do is hug you and reassure you better times are ahead. Halloween (All Saints Vigil), All Saints day and All Souls Day gives us a path forward. We are all sinners and Christ died for us. We are all on the path of moving from our mistakes to our perfection – some slowly — some more quickly. Pray for your health. Pray for the health of the parents weighed down by this error. Pray for your cousin. All of you are living in a earthly Purgatory.
May I pray?
Lord God, source of all liberation, send your mighty mercy and compassion upon Jesse and all those effected by this error. Bring him renewed hope, faith and charity. Break the chains of the past and open wide the Exodus path to the promised life of Joy. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Amen- thank you for your comment. Yes it does weight on me because it is a physical disability. I see it every day and I am affected by it until I go to bed. Yes, it was a mistake, but he should have shot the gun the other way. Maybe it was God’s intervention, but it totally ruined this life. There is a reason why I am like this. I just have to find it. Thank you again for your comment. I really appreciate it.
