Big, big day as my son Dan is returning from Germany where he was stationed with the 1st Armored Division. He is an Iraq war veteran and is being transferred back to a base here in the United States. It has been nearly a year and half since last seeing him.
This is a man that was slowly driving himself down further into the depths of nothing. He was out of high school, drifting around trying to figure out his life and falling even further.
It was on his own that he made that decision to join the military. He made that decision to change his life. It is a decision much like those made by the people from my book, CHANGED LIVES. There will be tough times and there have been during his change of direction, but he is heading in the right direction. He is made it to the level of Sargeant, earned awards and doing very well at this time.
The point in sharing this with you is that along with being proud of my son, it also shows that you can make a change for the better. Even when all seems to be going down hill, the push back up can happen.
So stand tall, know that change can happen, life can get better.
