Have you ever experienced an awful day that turned better because of one person? It’s crazy how the presence of someone you deeply care about can make your bad day a bit more bearable, even when all you wanted to do five minutes earlier was hide.

He assured me that everything was going to be all right and kissed my

    “And what matters in this journey-at least initially-is not what kind of car you’re driving, but where you end up.” This quote spoke to me on levels beyond writing. When you get to the end of your life, you will be less concerned on the little aspects of life, but more on the journey and outcome of life.

It has always been a hard topic to talk about, but as I have gotten older it has become easier to open up about. John O’Leary made it clear in On Fire by saying, “It’s time to embrace your story and to celebrate the amazing miracle of your life” (O 'Leary, Page 51).…
