Finally There.

I am finally ready to finish this book.

It will rip your heart out.

It will make you cry a river.

And then it will lift your spirits and show you things you've never seen before.

I'm ready.

I'm there.

This life of mine has beaten me to near death, many times.

I've prayed to never wake up again, many times.

The lines on my face and bags under my eyes, the gray hair and bald head are testament to the stress.

There have been so many changes, so much pain, and so many horrible things that have happened that I can't even wrap my head around most of it.

But today, I am still standing.

And it is time to put to paper that story, and the story of a Wildlife Refuge and the creatures that live there.

And how they saved my life.

And brought me new friends.

And how blessed I am to have seen and photographed the things I have.

You will be amazed and astounded. As I have been.
