Langston’s event connects to my own and my outlook on life. My outlook has changed when I started going to church around the age of fifteen about to be sixteen. At first I had nobody to trust. Not my family‚ not my friends‚ no one. But one day‚ my friend asked me to go to church with his family‚ I decided to go because I had nothing to do that day. That decision was probably my best one I’ve ever made. During the session‚ I got emotional because the pastor had us pray a lot and to put our trust

month of May‚ 2008‚ the term rock-bottom took on an entirely different meaning for me in my life. Even though it’s been eight years‚ I can recall every detail about that day just like it happened yesterday. My family was known around the community as what some would call an‚” All-American Family”. I had been married 13 years with three wonderful sons.

There I was‚ walking along the road that lead to whatever next town it let to. It was a cold‚ windy sunny day with no cars around and I was also alone‚ which to me was a perfect day and I was also terrified. I should probably tell you that most of my family is dead.

Soon enough we were heading down the highway

My family has always been the most important thing to me. I feel very fortunate to have this big group of people supporting and loving me throughout my life. I’m from a big Italian Family.

There is always someone to call and always someone to help out‚ when it’s needed. We were raised to put family first

It is always easier to deal with problems when people say them out loud

Tom’s Lament. Old Tom limped down the street in the warm rain. He was heading for the bar on the corner of Henderson Boulevard where he regularly went for an ice cold brew on hot summer afternoons. Come to think of it‚ he didn’t so much drink his beer‚ as sit in the corner nursing the same glass for hours at a time watching those perfectly round chilled droplets hit the mahogany countertop. A young sporting type‚ who looked remarkably similar to his youngest boy‚ approached him and offered him

RACHEL: It was January 10‚ 2007‚ and you were working at a computer lab in Waco. RUBEN: I got to work‚ and first thing I did was crank up my e-mail. I discovered one that I didn’t know who it was from‚ addressed to “RP Salazar.” I figured‚ Hey‚ my e-mail is almost the same‚ so they probably sent it to the wrong person. I dug up this Rachel Salazar name‚ and I wrote a little message — “Hi‚ Rachel‚ holá‚ it seems as if this message came to me instead of you. I’m in Waco‚ Texas‚ USA.” And the signature
