K3. The Reasons

Burdick_1.gif

This picture sort of reminds of New York City back in the old days.  I mean you have a kid and his father looking out on a river or lake or any kind of body of water.  Plus, there is the city background and the bridge.  This scene has a little bit of an emotional reaction to me, but it can feel like this to everyone not just me.  The kid in the photo is the same kid in the picture before this, except in his younger years.  This is what Justin was dreaming about.  The good times he had with his father when he was younger.  Now his father is gone, he was killed in a tragic car accident.  Justin was just 8 years old at the time of the accident and has trouble remembering what happened, but he still knows the big picture.  Justin's father was killed on a snowy night in December, coming home after going out with some friends for dinner.  When coming home, he was hit by a drunk driver late that night and Justin and his mother received the news around 11 pm that night.  Justin was devasted and this basically ruined his life.  He became a bad kid, his grades went down, and he started to get in more and more trouble at school.  His mother was really concerned with him and honestly didn’t even know what to do with him.  She tried everything, moved him to different schools and everything.  One night she just couldn't handle it and was done with the stress she just cried and cried all night long.  That is when Justin had his dream and realized what he has been doing and felt awful.  This night changed his life for the worse, but after a while it got a little better.
