I left it out because I struggled with how to say it and still don’t know the right way to tell it. I did become a software developer, and I did greatly enjoy my time at Microsoft. It wasn’t happily ever after, but at least it was happily until it wasn’t. He died 15 years later of a brain injury he sustained in a car accident that occurred around the same time we had that encounter. Just awful luck, having nothing to do with anything. I totaled my first car too, only difference was I didn’t hit my head the same way.
