City: Covington

Brain Injury: Struck by lightening followed by a stroke and a heart attack 

Explanation of Mask: I painted this mask showing how my brain injury made me feel bad.  My memory is bad, and I have difficulty writing stories.  I miss my job as a postal worker.  I also  miss my wife and kids.  Before my injury, I loved going to old car shows with my friends… but I don’t anymore… and I miss that too.  But, I am able to go to Tennessee to visit a friend which I enjoy.  Riding around town with my friends Pat and Garden makes me happy now.
