100 Lives

 From: 100 LIves (condensed)


The age 7 day: He fell off his bike, got kissed by a girl, read a bedtime story to his little sister. The age 11 day: Had a Belgian waffle for breakfast, failed his math test and broke his collarbone in a fall from the neighbor’s tree. The age 17 day: He shaved off his beard, finished Huckleberry Finn and lost his virginity. The age 27 day: He woke up drunk, was late for his own wedding and didn’t get the blow job he expected. The age 32 day: He watched his son be born, looked at his wife as he had never done before and even thought he could come to love his mother-in-law. The age 51 day: At breakfast he confided something to his wife that he thought he never could, spent an ordinary day at work and got a call saying that his son had died in a DUI. The age 73 day: Finished a book on Genghis Khan, decided not to go to dialysis and died in his favorite easy chair.
63.
