Through the Eyes of His Mother

The book you are holding contains the incredible true story of the indomitable tenacious perseverance that the author and her son, Bubba, showed during tough times. It is about some of the trials and tragedies they endured-sometimes alone, but always in spirit and indeed together. It's about the triumphs that they lived and enjoyed! She was her son's first love. Although she could not hold his hand forever, she holds him always in her heart.

They learned to not only survive but also to thrive or "sur-thrive." A term she later coined and whispers or shouts to him when he needs it most: "Sur-thrive!" It means living and breathing through pain while knowing that this too must pass. Whatever you are going through at this very moment in space and time hold on to your honor, your integrity, and your dream -- because this too will pass! The lesson is that when it passes, you must be ready to be better than ever in every area of your life.

As Bubba has grown, he often looks back and says, "Life will throw you into a class that you didn't enroll in." This book and the ones that follow will allow you to see into some of those unenrolled classes and how they "sur-thrived" them all!

Go hard or go home! Many times, they had to go home. However, if you take a good look, you will see that they are always going hard!
