Introduction: That's Life

There are those who struggle all their lives, and I am one of them.

From the moment I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, only using one hand, confined to a wheelchair due to not crying that caused brain damage the first two hours of life, my fate was sealed.

Wanting to live normally, I got inspiration from Teachers, a bus driver, and Frank Sinatra who, despite career ups and downs, losing women he loved and always needing money, survived his way.

Life is a journey, full of highs and lows, a test of strength that one must go on no matter the consequences. As I approach my sixties, the journey isn't over yet; this memoir could be called "Life is what you make it" and let's hope it inspires others too.
