This is the closing chapter of the nearly quarter-century journey of life as a Clockwork Orange. What a life it was. From a naive beginning, I scaled up to becoming the Stone that Creates the Ripple.
I have finally come to terms with my condition as an invalid. Indeed, it is a humbling experience to know that the repercussions of such intent had led me through the twists and turns of events that led me to where I am now:
I had one choice.
I had to make a choice.
I would
Live in darkness and submit to my disabilities...
Submit to what life gave me
Go into the light and shine
To... Emerge from all my obstacles
As a master of my own body,
As a winner to my situation.
And what I've chosen has shown others
To emerge from their darkness
From their...
From their darkest times
And together we could become undefeatable.
- Philly, a paraplegic featured in Jason Owen's music video Undefeatable
It is still not a be[t] (bed) of roses but at least, I am out of the abyss of the Financial Black Hole that I thought would swallow me whole without a speck of mercy.
Just when I thought that there was no chance to redeem myself, love came shining through. It was Lizzie, with her tenacity and resilience that pulled me out of the rut.
With the illness, the financial pressure, and the newborn in view, she took the bold move to single-handedly tackle the harsh reality of grace under pressure.
For that, I owe Lizzie my life. I hope I can repay her sacrifice as a wife, a mother, and a[t] (as) the warrior who brings everybody back.
In my life, I made three great decisions. The first was for marrying Lizzie. The second was for buying this house. The third was for deciding to have my two kids.
For that, I believe there is God, and this God is fair.
Indeed, God is Great...
