Chapter 5 is live.
This was one of the hardest chapters for me to write.
It tells the story of Hope’s final days—and one small moment I will carry with me forever.
For four long days, she could hear everything around her, but could no longer speak or respond. And then, in one final moment, she found a way to say goodbye.
One tear changed everything.
This chapter is about love, loss, faith, and learning how precious every single day truly is.
If you’ve ever loved deeply, cared for someone through illness, or searched for meaning in the middle of heartbreak, I believe this chapter may resonate with you.

Hello friends,
Chapter 4 is live.
This chapter is deeply personal to me.
It tells the story of the final months before Hope’s health took a devastating turn—but also the unexpected beauty that filled that time. Our family came together in ways I never could have imagined. There was heartbreak, yes, but also laughter, closeness, healing, and moments of joy I will carry with me forever.
In the middle of uncertainty, we discovered what truly mattered: time together, love without conditions, and the grace hidden inside ordinary moments.
This chapter is about family, presence, and the memories that continue to shape us long after moments have passed.
If you’ve ever experienced loss, leaned on the people you love, or found light in the middle of difficult seasons, I believe this chapter will speak to you.
📖 Read Chapter 4: One Big Happy Family

Below is an excerpt from my upcoming book. My research indicates that I am the first to have coined the word "Senteen". It is formally recognized today.
I would like to introduce one of the words I created for the book since it is used immediately. It is the word Senteen. It is a combination of the word Senior and teenager. Personally, for me I have never been this fit and trim, active and roaming with wanderlust since I was a teenager. My friends, Senteens, are all the same. We are teenagers in more mature minds and bodies. We may not move as fast, but we play with more knowledge, making up for the lesser of our physical attributes. We create and romp unhindered by norms, for we don’t know when tomorrow may not come. We play, date, and have intimacy with creativity without worrying what people will think of us. As for intimacy, the new ED pills make us men feel like stallions, and hormone therapy sparks women into a new reawakening. We are Senteens!

Chapter 3 is live.
This chapter takes place during one of the hardest stretches of the journey—when things felt overwhelming, uncertain, and honestly hard to make sense of.
And then… an unexpected conversation happened.
It didn’t instantly fix everything—but it changed the way I started to see it.
If you’ve ever questioned why things happen the way they do, or looked for meaning in the middle of it all, this chapter might resonate.

Chapter 2 is now live.
This one goes back… before everything changed.
I write about growing up in a time when boys were taught to be tough, never cry, and always be ready for a war we didn’t fully understand.
But life has a way of rewriting those rules.
This chapter is about the moment that changed mine forever.

Why hasn’t the book’s sequel been titled yet?
Because the right title doesn’t reveal itself… until everything else does.
It’s the final piece—the one that only comes into focus after every page has been shaped, every word refined, and every voice behind the scenes has weighed in.
That process is happening now.
For the past month, the manuscript has been under careful review. Over the next few weeks, it will continue to evolve, sharpen, and deepen. And somewhere in that final stretch… the title will emerge. And when the title is finally revealed, it will be one that truly captures the depth, emotion, and purpose of what’s to come.
BUT
When a publisher ultimately acquires the book, they’ll likely have significant (sometimes near-total) input in choosing a title they believe will market it effectively. Depending on the publisher and the author’s track record, the author’s influence on the final title can range from minimal to substantial.
In the meantime, we’ll simply refer to upcoming posts as “The Sequel” until an official title is announced.
