....We've all had events in our lives that have changed our paths in one way or another. For me, this life changing event was when my father died. (NOW THE REST OF THIS MAY OR MAY NOT PERTAIN TO YOUR STORY SO DELETE OR CHANGE AS NEEDED) I had known for years that my father was ill, but you're never truly prepared for the day you hear the phone ring and on the other end is a nurse telling you to please come quickly to the hospital. (OR.. I had no idea that one day I would pick up the phone to answer it, like I had a million times before, but on this day, the caller asked me, ';are you sitting down, I have some bad news'; and then proceeded to tell me that my father passed away unexpectedly.) My father's death affected me in so many ways. (THEN GO ON TO LIST THOSE WAYS). (HOPE THIS HELPED%26lt; SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!) SIERRAI;m having trouble writing my essay, any word of advice?
