Three Essential Stories

    If there were three stories that I would absolutely put in my auto biography, they would be (so far, as obviously my life is not over and there will be many more stories to come) my fourth birthday, the move from New York to Ohio, and the death of my brother Max.
    My fourth bithday I feel is an important story because that is when I got my first LEGO set, and building with LEGO bricks has been an very large part of my life so far. I have since then collected quite a large amount of LEGO bricks, and thanks to that one set I got on my fourth birthday, I have taken a very big interest in designing and building things.
    The move to Ohio from our old home in New York is important because it was rather like staring over -- I didn't see it at the time, but looking back at it, we only stayed in New York after we moved from New Mexico for about four years, and I wasn't old enough to remember moving from New Mexico. So we only stayed in New York a relatively short while, moved to Ohio, rented a house there but only stayed a year, and then moved to our current home and we haven't moved since. it has been about eight years and it doesn't look like we will move again.
    Finally, the death of my brother Max is the most important, probably fro pretty obvious reasons. It was probably the most painful days of my life, and it came upon me then that it had seemed impossible that my unassailable older brother could be killed, that such a travesty could happen to our own family, and I realized that anyone can and will die and that we should take nothing for granted.
    I cannot say that I will not have any more important stories, indeed I hope I do live to see many a tale, but out of all the life I have seen I would pick these three as most essential.
