After a failed transplant and 22 surgeries of all sorts, from the thighs to the eyes. With several cuts and scars

After four 911 rides and several near strolls to the other side.

After over 10 hospitals in 4 countries.

After 1,296.00 sessions of dialysis

After a colon cancer scare

After disappointments from men.

After almost a million dollars

After bouts of depression

Standing healthier, standing stronger, standing wiser, standing more hopeful and zesty than ever.

Doing everything he sets his mind to and making all his dreams come true

In the same journey where the graves have claimed many, on a day like this when everyone is grateful. I look back and then I look up and say Thank you Jehovah.

Look too at your journey and see that you too have every reason to salute the soldier in you. Keep fighting".
