He finished high school and landed a good job at a marina in southern Florida. He enjoyed his work, and it was the summer of 1981. Living close to the marina he walked. One evening he was invited for a pleasure cruise on a yacht. As he was about to enter the parking lot out front, he was hit by a drunk driver as a pedestrian. \u003cp\u003eThis was a life-altering experience that changed Andrew forever, making him a double amputee. It took time to adapt and overcome this particular trauma, but he did it! He never gave up although, Andrew thought about it, but he wanted to live more than giving up. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e We can do whatever we set our minds to, and get it done. In 2002, Andrew proudly resigned tenure from a military reserve unit as a non-commissioned officer. This too was a tough and humbling learning experience he was grateful to have. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Andrew hopes his poetry will help anyone with any handicap, in dealing with and acceptance of, or helping someone else with theirs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dorrance Publishing Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480912861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.13d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Thomas Elder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435516031157,"sku":"9781480912861","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7f073972-013c-4659-bc3e-32ce25e0c63d.jpg?v=1776226974","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/life-as-i-know-it-9781480912861","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
