They say that life is all about ups and downs. However. I beg to differ for my life had been nothing but an endless downward spiral.
From losing my father before I ever met him, and losing my mother at my wedding to losing my husband while I was raising his kids, truly none of these tragic deaths prepared me for what was written in my path.
Being imprisoned felt like I had gone to hell. Luckily. I persevered it all and came out stronger than ever. The survivor in me was let out as I gave myself to the Lord when I had nothing but faith inside me.
Today, I present a retelling of my life, including my childhood, the horrors ! faced while in prison, my long and arduous road towards freedom, and the many challenges I faced afterward.
Welcome to my life. Let my story be a reminder of how we are all capable of looking adversity in the face and dealing with what it throws at us.
We can overcome it all even if we think we cannot.
