Inhaltsangabe

Andrew was born and raised in Bryan, Ohio. He finished high school and landed a good job at a marina in southern Florida. He enjoyed his work, and it was the summer of 1981. Living close to the marina he walked. One evening he was invited for a pleasure cruise on a yacht. As he was about to enter the parking lot out front, he was hit by a drunk driver as a pedestrian. This was a life-altering experience that changed Andrew forever, making him a double amputee. It took time to adapt and overcome this particular trauma, but he did it! He never gave up although, Andrew thought about it, but he wanted to live more than giving up. We can do whatever we set our minds to, and get it done. In 2002, Andrew proudly resigned tenure from a military reserve unit as a non-commissioned officer. This too was a tough and humbling learning experience he was grateful to have. Andrew hopes his poetry will help anyone with any handicap, in dealing with and acceptance of, or helping someone else with theirs.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio and I was educated locally but got dropped out of high school at my senior year in 1980. However, at the same year, I got my GED diploma. I landed a good job at Marina in Southwestern Florida where I lived close by. One Saturday afternoon while working overtime, I was invited to go out on a yacht in the Gulf of Mexico. When I went home, my friends asked me to meet them back at Marina. When I was about to enter the parking lot, I was hit by a drunk driver. That changed me forever. Though the situation was hard, I was able to surpass because of HaShem's help. Eleven years after my accident, I served in our state reserve unit as a double amputee. I served 3.5 tours or ten and a half years. I met a lot of good people and wrote some of their experiences, to reiterate their positive divine interventions.
