Damn You

“Nobody looks good in their darkest hour. But it's those hours that make us what we are. We stand strong, or we cower. We emerge victorious, tempered by our trials, or fractured by a permanent damning fault line.” ― Karen Marie Moning

I can only sit in awe of the man I know faced with burdens that simply seem unfair. This man has been given a wagon of burdensome rocks too heavy to be carried by most people. A series of issues including health, job and grief have hung over and around him for quite some time.

And he still exhibits great faith in his God and remains ever positive in what life has to offer.

Damn you for making me realize my own faith and attitude have a long way to go.

Damn you for making me want to be a better person, more like you.

Each of us will have our trials, our tribulations and just bad moments. But each of us will have our triumphs, our success and glory in what we do. I just wish I could be more like this man through both the joy and pain.

And I will stand shoulder to shoulder with him in his darkness but also within the light he brings to my life.

Damn you for making me see greatness in possibility regardless of the circumstance.

Damn you for standing with me when all along I thought I was standing for you.

No matter what happens, we will see each other through to the other side of whatever lay in front of us. There will be great times to be had, a great life to be lived. All through it I will say thank you. Thank you for making me want to be more like you.

Stay inspired my friends.
