THE RECENT AND SUDDEN DEATH OF MY BROTHER PAUL MAKES ME REALIZE THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW
THE SITUATION:
I currently live in Detroit. I want to move to Los Angeles to pursue my creative destiny.
How did I get here?
- I came here in 2018 to take care of my dying mother
- She died while I was driving here
- My mom lived with and took care of my legally-blind and disabled uncle.
- Therefore, I was given the opportunity to take care of someone who needed help. I will be turning over his care soon.
