STORY DESCRIPTION

It’s funny when you read the newspaper today all you see is the bad. Tragedies and suffering abound. Don’t get me wrong I have a lot of sympathy for victims of accidents, their families and the like. Truly life altering events for those involved should not be taken lightly.

What I find funny is that the important stories never make the news. The ones that affect a lot of us the most. They are not sudden like a car wreck or the unforeseen onset of a life threatening illness. They happen slowly, a series of events and individual decisions that set people on their individual paths. This is why you never hear about them until it’s too late. At the time they mean nothing. Just insignificant little choices we make every day and think nothing about, until later...when things start to go sideways.

Looking at any one event or decision in the chain provides no certainty to the direction things will take. It’s always easy to Monday morning quarterback anything. Most don’t ever recognize that the decision they are making could be ‘THE ONE’, that all important choice. Nobody has the ability to see into the future so that person can't know that one critical choice and the series of decisions following it will build up...leading that person down a path he or she would never have dreamed possible.

This is one of those stories…
