It seemed as if I was experiencing hell at one place and time in my life, I needed someone or something to become a safety net, a resting place, a sign of hope. I found God through all the craziness in my past and I found him to be everything I need. It seems as if I can count on him more than anyone in my life from him restoring me mind body and soul. He is the most important person in my life, he rescued me when I couldn’t hang on he told me to hold on.

I was sad and depressed. It was one of the worst feelings leaving my girl and son behind, but deep down I knew it was right. I had to do what I had to do, and I couldn’t let anything get in the way of my goals for me or my family. I knew that everything would work out impeccably in the end, because everything happens for a reason.

I think he didn’t let go because he still could see the hope in her eyes and hear the hope in her voice that she thought he would get better.. Even thou they want to go they still don’t want their love ones to suffer. We never want to let go of our love ones because it hurts. We have to do what is best for them and not us.

I strived to succeed, so when I didn’t do my best I would get very upset with myself and try harder until I was the best. I hate the feeling of failure especially when I knew that I had tried my very hardest.

Through the years I have learned what I am good at and what I don’t excel in.
I am now in college and my relationship with my dad has drifted apart more and more over the years. Yet, to this day, I still aspire to make him proud in everything I do and have changed my attitude for the better.

In order for me to receive my father’s acceptance, I had to make some sacrifices and have a better attitude with every aspect of my life, including my relationship with my brother. Sacrifices aren’t always easy and will not happen over night.
