As long as we're breathing
It's not too late to change
Your story~ Sheri Salata
______________
I don't think I've ever come across a person who's liked sandwiches as much as my dad and I used to, but I've been proven very wrong as I sit across Henry in a sandwich shop watching his face change into the biggest grin when he looks at the sandwich placed in front of himI guess we don't realize what we have until it's taken away from us, we don't appreciate what we have until we don't have it anymore.
I never exactly took the time to realize just how lucky I was to have two extraordinary parents who loved me with their whole hearts until I lost them both,
I don't think my mother realized nor did she appreciate her health until it was taken away as she told my dad all those years ago,
So all in all when you don't have much in your life you begin to appreciate the little things in life, or just take the time to realize how important everything is.
So seeing Henry getting overjoyed with a sandwich and it bringing tears to his eyes... it breaks my heart to know this man lost everything he once had,
But I am going to do everything in my power to ensure he doesn't have to sleep on the streets anymore, if I can't figure out a way for him to have his own place I'll have to resort to him staying at my apartment ,
Hopefully, Mr. Huxley was serious when he mentioned getting a job for him...and that would be a big start so I seriously hope he wasn't joking about it,
As I listen to Henry explaining his life to me and where it all went wrong, I make a mental note to ask Mr. Huxley if he was serious about the job offer
"I loved my wife and daughter with my whole being, I tried my hardest to do everything to ensure they had the best life I could provide for them, and everything was great we had a nice house, all of us happy and healthy, but then little Annie died in a car crash and my wife and I got destroyed by it, my wife took it terribly and turned to drinking -
She started blaming me for buying the car for Annie and letting her go out that night, pretty much everything she could turn on me she did just that, it crushed me to know the day I lost my daughter physically I lost my wife mentally...she hated my guts and couldn't bear to look at me-
I tried my hardest to help and be there for my wife and with doing so I started slacking off at work with being with my wife so much...it ended in me getting laid off from work, so then I had no job, a wife who couldn't bear being in my presence and no daughter-
