1:20:00
We took him to races.
1:20:02
Once, just before a race,
my wife bought some kiwis.

1:20:07
This was before
they were popular.

1:20:10
I ate one, it made me sick.
1:20:14
We called the doctor,
he said it was an allergy.

1:20:20
The next day,
I couldn't take my son.

1:20:23
So my wife drove him.
1:20:25
They had an accident.
1:20:29
My son was killed instantly.
1:20:33
My wife survived.
1:20:35
She always blamed
me for his death.

1:20:41
She left me.
1:20:43
I went into a depression.
1:20:46
I lost my job.
1:20:50
So I decided to end it all.
1:20:56
I had lots of pills...
1:20:58
I knewthat if I took 10 grams
of aspirin and two antidepressants,

1:21:03
that would do it.
1:21:06
I stuffed them all in my mouth
1:21:09
and went to the sink
for a glass of water.

1:21:14
But as I later learned,
1:21:18
there was a leak
because of a bad joint,

1:21:22
and the mains
were turned off.

1:21:25
So there I was
with a mouthful of pills

1:21:30
and not a drop of water!
1:21:33
So I drank some oil
I found in the cupboard.

1:21:41
I threw it all up, naturally.
1:21:45
So there's no such thing
as chance.
