My Heroine's Journey Home

My Mother was my biggest inspiration for having a big heart. It is because of her, I love endlessly and forgive so easily. I was asked and have been asked how can you forgive certain people multiple times. Well, it's taught by Jesus in the Bible and well, my Mother was a great example of showing mercy and forgiveness.  I have learned so much from being an adopted child of the Harke's. My Mom, I've taken so much from my Mom, Myra, then my Dad. He tried to teach me fiscal responsibility and my mom knew it was important but my heart always wins. My mom's heart was amazing, as well as my father's. They brought in so many foster children and had two of their own.  Andy Flemming said, my mom, treated every kid that came into her home as her own. No, if and's or buts she loved kids. She must have felt that I was special enough to pour thousands of dollars of savings into adopting me. It took ten years of their life to secure the safety of one child.  The fruit...

My Heroine

“You just stood up to your mother.... I should think now you could take on the world.” ― Elizabeth Strout , Abide with Me My Mother is one of the most loving, caring, sociable and stubborn women I know. We've been round in circles about nonsense and everything that is important for my future.  Feb 20th, 2018, I fly down to Tampa to see my parents. My father's birthday is this day and it's a very somber birthday. My mom is in a coma in Zephyrhills Regional. The doctors had to induce her to save her life. She had to have 8 surgeries or series of debridement. It was the saddest thing I had seen in my family since the passing of my little brother Jasper. She was all hooked up with tubes and wires, it was so sad. Now she's been through a lot in life and I can say as a son I've put her through a lot. I was the youngest for a very long time. I love my mom and I didn't show it 100% of the time. I'm pretty sure no one else reading this ...

I See You In My Dreams

Your biological parents may not be your real parents... It's who raised you. Because anyone can drop an egg and get someone knocked up! I struggle on a the real with this because, who I am is not who created me. She's probably a pretty awesome mother but she's not my mother. It hurts but he's a great father but not who raised me. I've learned a lot and I'm grateful for everything my parents have taught me and allowed me to become. We're taught by society to believe that blood is thicker than water and even people on paper still suck but I got lucky. Family is anyone who loves you and nurtures you through this life. So on Mother's Day I show my love and affection to my mom, not the woman I'm genetically linked to but Father's Day I pay homage to two great men in my life. Because no matter how long it takes someone to get to where they are supposed to be in life despite life's hiccups, you may have the potential to be a great parent. ...
