First, I’d like to thank everyone for keeping me in prayer. Prayers are being answered. I’m starting to walk better now. I get to come out to Street Sense. It’s amazing to get where I am from when it happened, when I broke my back. It makes me feel good every time I can get up and walk. It’s a lot of pain, but if you read the book, you know what it say: No matter what happens, I’m gonna stand.
And I thank everyone for coming to my birthday get together out at my nursing home. We had a good time. The clients said they wish they could eat some more of my favorite meal with me, which y’all know is chicken.
It’s amazing how you can come from the street and build a family that doesn’t stop. What I mean by don’t stop is that I don’t even gotta ask who visits me, if one misses, the other fill in the spot.
I would like to thank Thomas, Melissa, and Robert. Especially all my staff workers at the facility that I’m in down at the nursing home. It be a lot of asking around in there if I’m gonna do a book on the place when I get out.
Yes, I am.
Just gotta keep following me and stay with me. It feels so good to be out on this day. Hoping that I see some more faces that used to come along to my station that support me with my papers and books.
Hope to be back soon because I know ya’ll miss my writing and wonder what’s going on with me. I know everyone misses me. But just remember, every time you come up the escalator:
