I’ve always said, you know, I think I heard it
once so I like to repeat it. If you want to be
a millionaire you go hang around
with millionaires, if you want to be a bum,
you go down and you hang out with the bums.
I just want to be standing six feet tall and
surrounded by goodness so I now incorporate the
good in my life and I leave out the negative.
I do my best, I’m not at 100% but every day
I am getting a little bit better than I was the day
before because I am taking all these experiences,
I’m soaking them in and now I am giving back
by telling where I’ve been and what I’ve done
and how it is that I am trying to get to where I
need to be. And at the end of the day I’ve got
a little girl that loves me.
And it’s probably one of the best things
that I could have ever gotten back through all
of my own, in all of my demise.
The work that I needed to do to get to where I am
now had to be done but I needed to want it and
she gave me that purpose in my life.
Veterans Affairs in itself has just been instrumental,
the help that I receive from Veterans Affairs.
It’s not on Veterans Affairs to fix the soldiers.
It’s like I stated earlier the tools are there,
they help you with the tools,
it’s the individual that needs to want it.
