This impacted Timothy a lot. He blamed the accident all on him and has still yet to forgive himself. He doesn't break out of his shell very often anymore to have a good time because of what happened around 20 years ago. He has gone to a medium with his wife, Lindsey to talk to Ted. Ted told him to have fun more often and play jokes on his family. He even told him to get a tattoo. Tim's third impact was his Grandpa Cota. His grandpa taught him how to do everything on the farm. His grandpa was the person that inspired him to become a farmer and own his own farm. Tim's grandpa was one of the biggest people in Tim's life growing up.

Tim always wanted to be like Sam in every way. That’s why when Sam came back to Redding, after his father was killed, he was thrilled when Sam asked if Tim had any cows, and not his mother. Sam loves his brother. As soon as Tim had heard that Sam was coming to town he went to the place where they were staying and they hugged and cried for a few minutes.

In mid June right before the summer Tim got a draft notice, saying that he had to participate in the war. During that summer, he worked at a meatpacking plant, taking out blood clots in dead pigs. Working there made him reek of pig, and made it hard for him to get dates. While he worked at that job he effectively isolated himself from everyone (175).
