From Tragedies to Happiness

From Tragedies to Happiness: My True Stories is a memoir of my life. I have been through five tragedies that I describe in the book-they are being molested as a child, suffering from deep depression, a suicide attempt, deaths of my parents and brother, Walt, and bankruptcy. I was thinking one day, that I have been through a lot of tragedies in my life, and I am still a happy person today. I wrote the book to let people know that even though they go through one or more tragedies in their life, they can move forward and lead a happy life, as I have. If another tragedy strikes, take care of it the best way you know how and again move forward. I discuss in detail each tragedy. I also have included two-line rhymes regarding the health-care field. I wrote about seventy of them in three days. They just kept coming to me. I also parody some songs that I have adapted to include the health-care field. I have as Chapter 1, the love story of myself and Dave Herzig. We have been together for twenty-five years after meeting in a summer Friday night bowling league in 1989, and we are more in love today than when we first fell in love with each other in 1989. I found a man who loves me when I thought nobody ever would. I made Dave wait 167 days until our first "e;romantic session."e; He could have left, but he waited for me. He didn't know why I wanted to wait. I needed to know that I could trust him first. He didn't know about my molestation when I was nine years old. I feel the book will help others, and that is why I wrote it.
