My life – like many others – has not been picture perfect. There was no white picket fence, there wasn’t a happy ending to every story. I grew up in a broken home and among mixed families. Every door down the hall is not open; thanks to some of my choices a number of doors are firmly closed, locked, and bolted. I didn’t go to college right out of high school, I don’t have a concrete path to follow. I have such high expectations for myself and as well as for others, however at times I am the first to falter. I love on a massive scale, I hurt deep. I strive for a solid relationship with our Lord, while my past sins and failings, at times, consume me. While I have not always had success in everything I do, I have a hard work ethic; I’m willing to put in the long hours, I’m willing to get back off the ground and try again. I believe the best is yet to come. I refuse to accept mediocrity, I’ll never say “that’s good enough.” I want the best, and I want to end each day with a bag of results. Having these two beautiful girls in my life – the phrase, “my daughters” will never get old – has touched me more deeply than any other event in my life. It has changed everything. Now I have two people whose future, in part, depends on mine. Being a father has swept in a new meaning and purpose for me. Being distant or not involved is simply not an option. I can think of few things more important than having a Dad who is there, who loves, guides and nurtures. My heart is full of love for Kaylene and Brielle, but it is also weak. The thought of them not being here is unbearable. Each smile and burst of laughter will send waves of love throughout every inch of my body. My mission in life is to ensure those two girls have a solid foundation to build their lives on. It is true, I cannot do it all for them – but my days will be spent crafting the blocks they will use to create their future. They will be taught the value of serving others, to love unconditionally, to honor their mother as if their lives depend on it, and to never settle – whether that be in business, love or life, period. My success will be their success. Failure is simply not an option. Long past my last breath I will love my two beautiful daughters, nothing matters except them.
