“If you don’t stay in the game, you’ll never know your worth!”
In this memoir you’ll take a journey inside my world anecdotally and see how these life lessons were transferred to my daughter, Asha—and how she responded to them. You will get a glimpse of how my internal compass found its bearing. And last, but certainly not least, you’ll be reminded and encouraged about your worth as a parent and the vital role you were built to play.
In 1992, I had a car accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. At the time my daughter was two months old. The night of the accident I knew that I was supposed to die but He kept me. It’s hard to put words around it, yet I know it to be true.
Wow! My life had changed in an instant. I realized quickly that this was not a dream. I was in the midst of my toughest challenge. I was totally overwhelmed by the awesome task that lay before me, but in this vast amount of confusion the victory rested just beyond the horizon. I could not clearly see the victory, but I felt it at the core of my inner being.
I never intended to tell my story, but I did. My story is a reflection of my past and, more importantly, how it motivated me to be the dad I never had.
