foremost for my kids. Secondly, I write because I have

a true story to tell: Some call it a testimony about

God's grace and mercy, a story of redemption.

From the past to the present, my life remains an open

book for all to witness. From tears of pain to tears of

joy. I write for my sons. However, if my words and/or

experiences inspire any others, then so be it.

We are all products of our own individual experiences,

no matter how unfortunate they may or may not be.

However, I have left no excuses in my particular case

and it's imperative that I keep the story of my past

front and center. And if I don't, history may very well

repeat itself. #nottoday
