Overtime

Now, I know you’re sitting there thinking why the hell is she sharing this personal stuff with me, so let me explain. If I can touch one person, help one person to clean up their ways and be the person they want to be, then, damn it, I’m doing what I set out to do. This book is my healing. My HEART and SOUL are in each word on these pages. Especially when Jordie is talking. This is how I wanted my mom’s story to play out. To clean up and be happy. Since she didn’t get that on this earth with me, Jordie will. And I know she’s in Heaven, smiling, saying, “That’s my baby.”


So please, if you need help, get it. My message box is always open, and I’m not shy. I’m an open book and I’m proud of my struggles, my triumphs, my failures, and my success. I work hard for what I want, and most of all, I depend on my faith. You can too. You can do it. I know you can.

For anyone who has helped me along the way, I thank you. I couldn’t do anything without you. But this section isn’t about thanking you. It’s honestly about thanking my mom. Because without watching her story, I wouldn’t have changed how I live.

So thank you, Mom. I love you. I miss you, and the hole in my heart will never be filled until I see you in Heaven.

In other words, just keep fighting, everyone. Please. Don’t give up on you. Fight for what you want.

The end result is complete bliss.

Thank you for reading Jordie’s story, and I hope maybe it had an effect on you in order for you to alter yours a bit in a positive way.

Thank you and God bless.
