Road 19

<p>        Road 19 is a very real place that represents the beginning foundation of what has become my family.<br />And we're not just your typical family either. Some things that were and are prevelent in my family stand out as extraordinary for sure.<br />Very big highs and debilitating lows have found us in many ways through several generations thus far.<br />As honest as I can be about my family’s personal story I must say it is fascinating to realize all that took place!<br />Yesterday I was hurt angry and confused. Today I am happier and more aware.<br />The difference was not created through therapy or found in a church.<br />No drugs (prescribed or otherwise) have been used.<br />In fact no external source can be credited. <br />One simple yet complicated to admit reality is all it took.<br />Through the creation of this book and my family’s story I have come to realize…<br />True understanding is found far beyond the obvious.<br />Childhood exposures set me on a path of adult experiences that have seemed extremely frustrating at times.<br />During most of my young adult years I was simply in denial. I didn’t even want to look at any old family photos.<br />Scars were deep resentments were strong so I set out to detach myself from my family’s past.<br />I did this for a very long time… way too long in fact.<br />Now through the open-minded perspective that has thankfully found me as I have aged I have looked deep into my family history. Far beyond the obvious that engulfed my attention span for many years I found a lot of understanding… my understanding. Now I wish to record a deep and somewhat detailed exposure of our legacy.<br />I invite you in to our past. Joe</p>
