I've written my story to inspire others not to give up on life. Life might be full of despair and struggles but will always encompasses love and winning. I believe God let me experience all of these so that I can inspire people through my story.Things have happened in my life that didn't need to happen. I have kept my silence long enough. I've waited until now, in my 67th year of life, to tell my truth. I can now see the end from the beginning. Age has a way of doing that for you. If you lived through the events and see it differently than I do, then just know this: I am writing MY truths from MY perspective only. You were just a bystander, watching from a distance, it wasn't happening to you. Or maybe you were the one inflicting the event on me. You didn't have to, but you did. Just as now, I am writing about MY truths, of the events of MY life, in this book.
