Chapter One

EVENT #1

It was the year of 1952, when I was approximately eight year's old, living in New Orleans, Louisiana, when this event took place.

It was a warm and beautiful sunny day in New Orleans. My brothers John, Luis, Roland and my sister Carmen were playing in the back yard with other children from the neighborhood. Our neighbors were good people to us. One of them name Ms Price lived up stairs from our family. She would always bring to our family some Lemon Aid. As a small kid, I always thought she made the best Lemon Aid in the World. Maybe it was because of the egg shape and juicy fruit taste that I loved about the lemon. When ever Ms Price would buy a large bag of lemons she would always have some ready to give to me. It was a treat when she gave me the lemons.

My mother was inside the house and I was just sitting on the front porch enjoying my tasteful lemons, when there appeared to be a sound of loud music coming down the street. It was a sound of music familiar to all the kids in the neighborhood. It was the Traveling Merry Go Round Truck, which had small wooden horses on it. When the truck arrived near my house, it parked across the street from where I was sitting. The music would continue to play on. The children in the neighborhood all ran to their parents for money to get on the ride. You see the price for a ride on the Merry Go Round Truck at that time was five cents. I also pleaded to my mother for a nickel. She said she didn't have a nickel on her. Standing next to her was Ms Price. Ms Price said she had a nickel and offered it to me to go on the ride.

So with a happy face and with excitement, I proceeded to cross the street to get on the ride. All the kids including me were having a lot of fun laughing as we went round and round with the music playing. When most of us got off the Merry Go Round we were a little dizzy. As kids we kind of laughed about it. After the ride I started to cross the street, when suddenly things had changed my life. That's when a speeding car driven by a female drunken driver hit me.

As my mother recalled, she said I flew up in the air and landed on the street, a few feet from the vehicle. Moments later I recalled waking up seeing my mother looking down at me crying. I was also crying with a lot of pain. Within moments after that, I black out. The next time I can recall waking up and looking up at my mother and the ambulance personnel. At that time I was lying on the stretcher inside the ambulance. My mother was still crying and saying, "Oh my God don't let anything happen to my baby". "You will be alright Baby". The attendants also said to me "everything will be okay". That's when I black out again. On route to the hospital I can hear the sound of the sirens coming from the ambulance.

When I arrived at the hospital I woke up to see a man dress in white style uniform clothing. He had in his hands a large metal ice cream cone shape object. I learned later it was used to stretch my broken bones. The procedure hurt so bad I black out again. One of the most important events in my life then took place. I woke up again and observed a Catholic Priest given me my last Rites.

As he was blessing me I fell asleep. I found myself walking down a colorful...
