ALL MY LIFE IVE SEARCHED FOR WHAT MOST PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED,A FAMILY.ONE THAT WILL CARE FOR ME WHEN IM SICK,LISTEN WHEN IM DOWN AND STAND BEHIND ME WHEN I FACE THE UNKNOWN.
TO ME ,AN ORPHAN SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD,A FAMILY WAS ALWAYS A DREAM,AND LIKE MOST DREAMS,IT WAS DESTINED TO BE AN ENDLESS SEARCH.
THEN ONE DAY SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME.MY LIFE ALMOST BECAME NONEXISTANT.EVERYTHING ID DONE WOULD BE GONE,ALL THE PRAYERS ID PRAYED WOULD BE FORGITTEN .THERE JUST WOULD NO LONGER BE ME,AND IT ALMOST CAME TRUE.I WAS ON LIFE SUPPORT,MY BRAIN WASNT FUNCTIONING TO CPACITY AND AT BEST,I WAS EXPECTED TO BE A VEGETABLE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
THEN SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED,MY SON CAME UP TO SEE ME AND ALONG WITH HIM HE BROUGHT A LAP TOP.HE BEGAN TO READ ME MY MESSAGES ,AND MY COMMENTS LEFT TO ME BY MY CT FAMILY AND FRIENDS.HE ALSO BROUGHT LETTERS MY LITTLE GIRL WROTE.
NOW BEING A SINGLE FATHER MY KIDS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME BUT I HAD A VOID I MY LIFE,I BELONGED TO MY KIDS BUT SOON THEY WOULD BE OUT ON THEIR OWN AND ID BE ALL ALONE.I HADNT BEEN IMPROVING VERY WELL BUT WAS TOLD I MAY LIVE.WELL WHEN MY SON UNRELENTLESSLY READ TO ME IT KICK STARTED MY SRIVE TO CONTINUE.AND I BEGAN TO IMPROVE DAILY.FROM WHAT THE DOC SAYS MY RECOVERY IS YEARS BEYOND WHAT HAD EVER EVEN BEEN EXPECTED.
YES MY LOVE FOR MY KIDS WAS MY MAIN DRIVE,BUT IT WAS THE LOVE GIVEN ME FROM MY CT FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT BROUGHT BACK MY SPIRIT TO FIGHT.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT A FAMILY WAS IMPORTANT,AND NOW I KNOW IT IS.ILL ALWAYS BE THEIR FOR MY KIDS BUT NOW I KNOW,MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.
TODAY MY CT FAMILY BESTOWED A GREAT HONOR UPON ME,ITS NOT A STATUS DEAL,ITS AN APPRECIATION FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IVE DONE FOR THEM.WELL MY FAMILY,ITS NOT WHAT IVE DONE FOR YOU,ITS WHAT YOU DID FOR ME IN THE PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE THAT GIVES ME THE DRIVE AND THE NEED TO SAY TO EACH MEMBER,ANYTIME,ANYWHERE,ANY PLACE,ILL BE THERE FOR YOU,AND MY FRIENDS,I SAY THAT TO YOU ALSO.I LOVE YOU ALL AND ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY WHAT YOU DONE FOR ME.
