Just The Facts

Most readers hear at the Shock know the basics of my story. I am a recovering alcoholic/addict, survived rape at age 12, Attempted suicide the week before I finally got sober, I've believed in reincarnation since I was a little boy when I dreamed of fighting and dying as a British Soldier on the Western Front of the GREAT WAR. And though I always sort of believed in a God I figured that he never believed in me and I mocked Christians and Christianity.


I eventually had a profound spiritual experience in late January of last year and became a Christian. My entire life has changed but there has been some adversity... a great deal of it actually.

Right now I am looking at the very real possibility of having Cancer and if I don't, the threat is not just going to go away...no I'll live with Barrett's Esophagus Disease until the day I die.


I posted last night at the bottom of a post that a friend is dying of Cancer...literally at this moment he is losing this fight and may not see the sun set this evening. It's a really sad situation because he is married and has kids. He also happens to be a public figure in our community (Public Safety Director...like the Chief of Police) and is well known and very well liked person, It's hard to explain or understand this kind of thing and why it happens.


I am enduring my own worry and pain right now but that is enough writing for me at this point....
