You ever notice that every biography/autobiography begins where and when life began for that individual? Well, for DeShawn, life was just beginning as a father and a young man determined to accomplish goals through education. Whereas for Allison, life was in it's cooking stage. The time sacrificed in the classroom was on it's way to being tested. Meeting at points in their live's where they were set on separate paths, both journeying an obstacle plagued road, never before has their union been thought of. Allison, a soon to be graduate starting her career as a therapist, and DeShawn; a soon to be veteran, continuing his education with hopes of becoming a scholar and a great father. It has been said time and time again, if you want to hear GOD laugh, tell GOD your plans. Years later, beaten up by that rigorous road they call life, Allison was a grateful and appreciative successful therapist living with purpose. DeShawn's path guided him to yet another journey after being punched in the mouth and backed in a corner by life. There is something about first impressions, character, and seeing behind the mask of individuals that allows curiosity to linger. Friends introduced them, and the same friends were the reconnecting opportunities. A call from DeShawn to those friends gave life to a rose in the rubble of once before stable concrete. DeShawn and Allison began to actually see and recognize each other for the first time. "GOD will provide people in your life", he said. "I want to be happy and I want to have a family", she said. Even with storms casting down on the two, in two opposite sides of America, the rain, the hail, the sleet, the fog, and the grey-ish black clouds, they were able to see each other and not break eye contact... not even to blink. Have you ever noticed that every biography/autobiography begins when and where life began for that individual? "LOVE TAKES OFF MASKS THAT WE FEAR WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT AND KNOW WE CANNNOT LIVE WITHIN" (J.B)
