This is my first time writing about this. Im a 23 year old male. When i was 7 years old, i was shot in the head by my grandfather(mothers dad). He was babysitting me. I remember that day. My dad was working, so was my mom, so he was stuck watching me. He never really wanted to be bothered with me. I was laying on the floor playing Super mario brothers for nintendo. I remember he went upstairs and came back down with his gun. I was shot with a .32 caliber bullet. The distance was no more then 10 feet away. He then took his own life. His intentions was to kill me. He left a note stating he wanted us cremated and our ashes spread on the river. the note also said that he was worried about his van that he had. My family was told by the doctors that IF i survived i would be a vegetable in a wheelchair, unable to talk, walk, feed myself or do anything. well needless to say, they were wrong. the only problems i have are that i walk with a limp and cannot use my right hand. I also sometimes have thinking problems and trouble remembering certain things.

Explosion, I am so sorry that that happened to you. I am so glad that you have physically recovered so well though. How is the mental/emotional recovery?

WOW! That is horrible that he had to involve you. It's one thing to take your own life, but that of an innocent child as well? I am glad you survived and are doing well.

Incredible survival story. You are still here for a reason. I hope you have a long fullfilling life while you explore it.
