What haven’t I lost is the question. Because I lost a good chunk of my life when that ball of light. You see I was abducted in April of 2001 and wasn’t returned until August of 2004. That’s quite a few years to go missing. Of life that just didn’t get lived. How I feel about that I’m still not sure yet. Though it did make me different. Gave me abilities that I wouldn’t trade in for the world.
Then there’s my mom and brother, Danny. I lost them because my brother took promicin. My mother died because she was around Danny and her body couldn’t adjust accordingly to the promicin that entered her system. And Danny… he wanted rid of his abilities because it was killing people. In the end he wanted me to take his life. To end his suffering. I complied. So I lost my little brother by my own hand.
But even though I lost so much I gained a lot too. I gained Violet, an excellent woman I’m not ever letting go of. I refuse to lose her. And our little girl, Korina, the precious miracle that she is. I know that I’d die inside if I lost them. So I’m going to do everything in my power not to let it happen.
I’ve lived through loss and gained something in return. It’s more than a man could ask for.
