This is just another average Fathers Day for just about every average father except me! I’m not saying that I’m special in any way. It’s just that God has given me the time  to witness my third Father’s Day since […]

As my 3rd anniversary of being diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer draws near I noticed how I now handle things. Throughout my life I’ve never considered myself to be a fighter. Now I have no choice. My life has […]

to see where i am you have to be where i’m at-someone’s opinion of me does not becomes my reality-environment doesn’t define the quality of life i live, my faith does!-to see where i am you have to be where i’m at-idle conversation […]

You shouldn’t be! I know it’s hard sometimes, but God is always there! You see, at first I was confused! I kept asking the question, “why me?” As time went by I began to understand “why me?” I now understand and actually accept […]

what dreams may come to by and by each night we all take leave to die to sleep and dream should not belie the sting of death you’ll take to cry we live by day at night we sigh nightmares […]

When it gets to the point where you have to  worry about seeing your children alive after a school day, something’s wrong! When you’re black in America and you worry about being alive after any interaction with police, something’s wrong! When a […]

my diagnosis has everything changed-now my life must rearrange-to me it’s like i’m in my dreams-i’ve faith in God so there’s no screams-you’d think it’s hard living life this way?-to fight for life each and every day?-i fight for each […]
