When I Choose To Smile I Become

We All Can Think Of At Least One Kid Who Had Great Parents, A Great Family, And An All-around Great Childhood...who Suddenly Went Crazy As Soon As He Left The House For College Or Adulthood. And Nobody Can Figure Out How Or Why It Happened!

When I Was 19 Years Old, Both Of My Parents Died In The Same Year; My Mom Of Cancer And My Dad In A Car Accident.

I Even Slept Occasionally Under A Pier On The Gulf Coast.
