The Last Few Years, Part 1
The Last Few Years
The story actually gets interesting before that, depending on your view of interesting. Five years ago, when I was in the middle of all of it?

Twenty six years ago, when high school was almost over and I was nearly paralyzed by fear and worry and doubt? Forty three years ago, when my mom was almost eight months pregnant, round and huge, a teenager married less than a year and hoping I wouldn't come early and bring out the gossips?
