This Is My Normal, This Is My Life

Book excerpt: After surviving a very traumatic birth, you would think that my rough days would be pretty much over, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. By the age of 15 I had dealt with the death of both of my paternal grandparents and my mother, just to name a couple of things. Those life events in themselves very nearly broke me, but over the years I have learned that nothing happens by accident, and is only meant to make you stronger for what is to come. Everyone and everything thing in life serves this purpose. I am living proof of that, I never knew that what I was facing at the time, would lead me to my future and give me experiences that I would need to refer back to years later.
