My Life Like a Roller Coaster

A boy at a young age who tried to protect his mom from his father, and at an older age, he did just that many times. He had his own problems with sicknesses and injuries as a young boy. He quit school to help his mom support her family of six children, although she didn't want him to. The young man went to work in the trades. He learned a lot and was taught from many because he showed he wanted to learn. These men knew why he was working at a young age and helped him to achieve his goals. The young man lost his mom at the age of sixteen and started hanging with the wrong people and getting into trouble for things he didn't do. He got married at the young age of seventeen and had a child, and that marriage didn't last very long. He had a difficult time dealing with the loss of his first marriage and the absence of his child. Later in life, in his twenties, he started his own business and ran it for forty years. This man lost his second wife of thirty-six years after a two-month battle with cancer, and his life abruptly changed. This man is Mark O'Neill, and this is his story.
