Epiphany

With the death of my stepfather, it has come to my attention that the destruction of the dreaded “Three” has come to a close. They say bad things happen in 3s. Bad things did happen, very bad things, deadly things, and if what they say has any bearing on reality, then I’m good to go.
Bad Thing #1: My life came to a screeching halt when You Know Who stomped on my heart. (Yes, I am still bitter.)
Bad Thing #2: My world came crashing down when my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma.
Bad Thing #3: The reality of alcoholism smacked my entire family in the face with the death of my stepfather.

With these bad things in the past, I know my future (and the future of my family) is headed for something great. I’ll move to Japan, my mom will move out of the house that haunts her, and my siblings will grow and learn in a healthy (albeit, not fully sane) environment.
