Meet the Garrisons

When My Daughter Was Born I Would Lay Alone In My Bed Reflecting On My Childhood. I Didn'T Mind The Fact That Most Of The Time I Had To Share A Room With My Brothers Or Someone Else. At That Time Though That Was Not The Case And Often Wanted My Own. I Realized That I Shared A Room Then So That Now I Can Better Provide A Room For My Daughter Now.. When I Was At About Page 200 Or So I Shared What I Had Been Feeling With My Brother. And It Was After That Conversation That I Was Encouraged To Share What I Had Been Going Through The Joy And The Sorry With Others. What I Had Been Feeling Might Be Helpful In Letting Someone Else Know That There'S Life After Pain Because There Was A Life A Wonderful Life Before The Pain. That Is Why There Is So Much Pain But Don'T Get Caught Up In The Pain. . Once I Was Able To Begin To Concentrate On How Good Life Was With Her As Opposed To The Hell I Was Going Through Without Her I Was Able To Breathe. The Bible Talks About A Man Named Job. I Was Not Job. I Really Had A Problem With Why The Almighty Would Allow Someone Who Had Never Done Anything To Anyone To Go Through What My Daughter Had To Go Through. However When I Got A Better Handle On What I Was Going Through I Realized That I Was Not Mad About What My Daughter Had Gone Through But Instead I Was Mad About What I Had To Go Through. After A Considerable Amount Of Praying And Soul-Searching I Realize That Unlike My Car My Shot Glass Collection My Home My Library And Other Things That I Can Put The Word My In Front Of My Daughter Was Not One Of My Possessions. She Did Not Belong To Me. She Was A Gift From God. I Do Believe With All My Heart That She Was Sent Here To Make Me A Better Man And Once She Had Done All She Could Her Father Called Her Home. I Am Blessed Grateful And Thankful That He Thought Enough Of Me To Share One Of His Angels With Me. Please Know That I Did Not Get Here Overnight. I Laid Awake I Tossed And Turned I Cried I Swore And Sometimes Even Drank Too Much. But I'M Here Now And Grateful For Having Been Blessed The Way I Was.
