About Lee Grant Irons
- Biography:
- Wandering the streets of my neighborhood, everyone was asleep and I was alone. I had always heard that Hell would be crowded. It's not. It is a lonely place filled with despair and a sense of loss. That night, I knew that who I was had ceased to exist, and what remained on Earth was a dry husk.
They say that it is not the fall that kills you, but the sudden stop. My crash was the end of a downward spiral comprised of years worth of over-working, over-indulgence, and over-doing. I had been burning the midnight oil for years leading up to it. At one point, I had three jobs, one full-time employment as a project engineer, one as an adjunct professor teaching four nights per week at a local community college, and one as a free-lance textbook writer and editor for educational publishing companies. In addition to this, I was actively involved in supporting both with my time and my money the numerous activities in which my five children were engaged. I was simultaneously a stage hand in a local community theater group, the executive director of a new community orchestra, and a driver to all of the lessons and activities. Add all of this to the normal weekly routines of home, school, and church life, and what I had was a personal perfect storm. My boat was taking on water, and I was in danger of being capsized by the next big wave.
That big wave came on Friday, June 3, 2005.
