I think I spent the rest of that day stunned, and I continue to be in disbelief in a way, but I know what happened.

To start things off, I am 14 now but this took place a week before my 14th birthday.

My parents were divorced and my dad just moved into his new house a few months prior.

He moved into the Rockies from the plains of Colorado so he could be closer to work.

You see, before this, he had to take a two-hour drive every day up the mountains to get to work where he would have an 11-hour shift, then drive back.

He was a cop and had just gotten back to work after eight months from his second major back injury.

He ended up suing workers' comp and got a decent sum of money from that.
