I was the youngest of four children. As my dad's medical practice was well established by the time I came along, I had the privilege of spending a great deal more time with him than had my brother and sisters. My sudden illness was particularly hard on my dad. I think, he worried about my mental health more than the physical implications. But as fate would have it, Dad was walking on the sidewalk along a nearby park one day when a drunk driver on a motorcycle jumped onto the path and hit him.
All night, I stayed in the waiting room of the hospital where Dad was on staff. He was not only a gifted surgeon, but he was also a determined man. We kept hoping for good news that night, though it never came. Dad was broken. The hands he had used to give sight to so many were crushed. His brilliant brain was damaged. Toward morning, my dad died.
I decided the best reason to continue living was to make the world better for someone else. Over the next several years, my illness went into full lessening and I slowly regained the ability to walk. Mom and I were not so lucky when it came to money. Without Dad's insurance money, money became a problem for the first time in our lives. We did get help, though, from a number of wonderful people.
