A journey is not done until you reach an end. The journey of this book is of my life. I tend to look at things a little different than most. Life is made up of the small things we see every day, and take for granted, and it usually takes some kind of tragedy for most folks to realize this. This book is years of looking at life, love, happiness, and sorrow, and being able to get up the next day and start all over again. Uncle Lum use to say, "Boy, you're no different than anyone else in this world. You put your britches on one leg at the time each day, and face what comes at you head on." Without knowing it, this is basically the way I have lived my life. I always plan ahead, set goals, but hell, take it one day at a time, and face what comes with peace in my heart.
