In this book, I will share with you some inspirational stories of my own as well as other people’s experiences of resilience and what I call "bouncebackability", some poems, anecdotes, quotes and practical lessons to apply to your life to help you learn to brush yourself off and get back up again.
I am not proud of everything I have done, but I have done some things of which I can be proud. I ask those whom I have knocked down in life to please forgive me for the bad things I did to you. I hold no grudges, nor harbor any animosity toward people who have hurt me or "knocked me down", in fact I pray to God that he will give me the ability to forgive and love you.
This is my story and I am telling the facts as I remember them. They are real. Sometimes when I remember them I cry, sometimes I can laugh, sometimes I recall the lessons, but the thing that dwells the most is the love that I have felt.
Thank you to my wife Ruby who has stuck with me through a great deal of hurt, especially before I became a Christian and learned to love her.
I love all of my children and grand-children and I love all Ruby's children and grand-children who I consider to be my own. Though at times some of us have not been as close as I would have wanted and this certainly not by my design.
God bless and keep you all and give you the resilience you need to get up when you are down.
