Gavin here from Christchurch, New Zealand (The Garden City of NZ) Aged 51,married to my Soul Mate Lynda with three children. In my younger years, aged 9, my class room went on a trip to Arthur's Pass National Park which is about 1/2 way between Christchurch on the East Coast and Greymouth on the West, of the South Island. By and by, so I am told, a friend and I climbed a cliff face but we were discovered (meanibg we shouldn't of done this ... I must of been such a good Lad ... LOL) Anyway, I don't know how my friend got down but I took the quick way (actually I must of slipped) and as they say, It's not the fall that hurts but the sudden stop! At least I landed where it would do the least damage ... on my head! I am also told that I was unconscious for 3 weeks and in hospital for 3 months! At the time I was at Ilam Primary School but when I was ready to go back I was sent to Riccarton Primary as they had a Speech Theropist - I needed to learn to speak, read and write ... again! I healed well, except for the rather large dent on the left side of my skull and plastic surgery here and there! After schooling I spent time at The NZ Railways, many years in Sales and in 1998 I gained my Qualifications as a Pastor which I had been studying for in my own time. Now semi-retired, even though still .... young, I am earning a living off the Internet! I say semi-retired for once a Pastor always a Pastor - Always looking for folk I may help! P.S. I have no memory of the accident, the 9 lost years before, or the healing!
