Seems maybe we all have bad luck. I know I wear my emotions on my sleeve so to speak where others keep it bottled up. That’s probably skewing my perception of my own luck.
But you know, while I have tons of regrets and wish I could change a lot, if I had to go back in time and was only allowed to change one thing, it honestly would be making sure to turn my ringer on that night in April 2021. Perhaps if I hadn’t missed that first phone call, I could have saved a life and altered the rest of history since for all. Including him. Never knowing if that 1.5 hours would have made a difference or not will forever haunt me. My guess is that it would have. As only 9 minutes passed since I talked to him and EMS arrived to find him dead. Or maybe I should have stayed on the phone with him.
