Life does not
prepare you for losing your mind and there is no guarantee of finding it once you
have lost it. The search for my mind and an understanding of why my life had
taken such a drastic turn, led me on an investigative journey through my past. Plagued
by thoughts of never being whole again, I felt like Humpty Dumpty who fell off
the wall. Although I did not have access to the ‘king’s horses’ and the ‘king’s
men’, somehow I was ‘put back together again.’ Perhaps even more than medicine
and therapy, love, caring, forgiveness, and non-judgmental encouragement have
been great healers and motivators in my life. This love has also enabled me to
love, care, forgive, and encourage others. When I was in a place that I, and
others, thought to be a place of no return, I found healing from these unlikely
healers. Having been blessed to return from that place, I discovered that
sometimes, tragedy is a precursor to triumph and brokenness a prerequisite for
wholeness. In my darkest hour, the love and support that I received helped me
to find my way.
 
One day while
seriously contemplating suicide, sitting with my head in my hands crying, I was
startled by a tap on my shoulder from my three year-old son. He patted my
shoulder and said, “It’s going to be alright daddy, it’s going to be alright.” Even
now, the thought of those words give me a chill, just thinking of how the words
of a three-year-old could affect the course of my life. In that moment, a door
opened in my mind that allowed me to begin the process of regaining control
over my mind and my life. I knew that I did not want to leave him here without
a father.
