Have you ever stopped and noticed how one innocent decision can change your life and the lives of so many?

I was thinking back about all the things that have happened since meeting my husband. I never realized the chain reaction it caused. It all started by simply deciding to go to a party that I didn’t want to go to because, I was too tired.

Short story, met him, married him, and soon after he had mouth surgery, that had his mouth wired shut. His dad sent a tea to clean out his intestines and it almost killed him. He probably would’ve been alone if I were not there and he would’ve died. He had a severe reaction to the tea in his weaken state. He just wanted to lay down but I could see he looked horrible and got a friend to drive us to the hospital. The doctor said that if he waited a little longer he would’ve gone into shock and died.

His family (except his mom) said they were grateful for me because I helped to change him. He had a really bad temper because kids use to tease him all the time. He use to get in trouble all the time and was always fighting. His aunts thought he would either be in jail or dead at the rate he was going.

So my family moves to the same state I was in and later I move again, but now they live there. They never would’ve moved there if I wasn’t there. There is the usual things, like we wouldn’t have married or had kids but I’m talking about all the different changes due to one tiny decision. I decided to go to a party and 32 years ago. Its just amazing.

What is your story?
