Sarah's Tree

I have always regarded myself as being just a normal Australian bloke. Someone who has tried to do the right thing when decisions need to be made. Sure what I had only inflicts males but the situation I found myself in meant that I could be a woman or I could be a child. Some of what happened to me does not discriminate age or gender, although I am probably being a bit presumptuous in describing myself as normal as no doubt there are a lot of people out there who wouldn't agree.The rest I put down to that lottery, the lottery that is life itself.“Sarah’s Tree” is my story. I wrote it from memory and it’s as I remember it. While I have embellished parts of it in the hope it allowed the story to flow, it’s still the story my friend insisted I write, and now, I hope you will allow me to share it with you. Some of it is sad. Some of it might seem unusual, but hopefully, some of it will also make you laugh. But above all, I hope it will inspire at least someone who reads it to choose life over the alternative if they are in a similar position that I found myself in.
