As rough as things have been this week I refuse to give in and let hard times beat me..I just have to stay focused on how fortunate I am to have the opportunity to keep pushing forward..its 1 thing I have control over 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾👌🏾#life #lifeexperience #choices #gratitude #appreciation
Big Bob made history in Houston and NYC..he kicked down doors that were closed by racism and ignorance and did it with class and dignity..he refused to allow the lack of recognition and support from the teams he represented to affect him..he would always say that they could never erase him from history no matter how hard they tried..and as usual he was absolutely right..his truth is the foundation I will stand on..there can only be 1 first and that is who he will always be..the first black GM in MLB history..the first to win a World Series..the first and only man period to win both World Series rings and an Olympic Gold Medal as an executive..I will continue to fight for his legacy until I take my last breath 🙏🏾💯👊🏾🙌🏾#bobwatson #MLB #blackhistory #blackexcellence #honorthyfather
Life is a trip..when I was young and reckless finding a woman was no problem..but as I grew into a mature and responsible man I became progressively less appealing..the same maturity and discipline that I thought would make me more eligible actually did the opposite..and I have had to go through life without the wife and family that I took for granted that I would always obtain..now as I move into the later stages of my life I have accepted that I will pass away alone..there will be no one to care for me like I did for Big Bob..there will be no one to carry on his legacy in my absence..so now Im just doing my best to mitigate my failure as a man to the best of my ability and hope that I will leave a positive impact behind that someone will benefit from 🙏🏾💯#life #lifeexperience #mentalhealth #choices #solitude
Big Bob always fought his way through pain and tribulations to give our family a chance to thrive..he never used excuses to shirk away from his responsibilities..so even in my lowest state I am following his lead and fighting to survive and thrive..I don't have a family of my own but I do have people who depend on me to be available and productive..this is my charge and I embrace it to the best of my ability..Big Bob's legacy requires me to stand tall and be accounted for..and I will do it..broken hearted and all😪🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾#life #lifeexperience #grief #loss #honorthyfather
May 14th will always be the date of the most difficult loss of my life..Big Bob did so much for so many but none more than for our family..I did everything I could to keep him here and present but ultimately I had no control of the outcome..the sense of grief, loss and failure almost ended my own life and I would be less than honest if I didn't say that there were times that I I wished I could have traded places with him..I struggle daily just to keep holding on and pushing forward but it has been so difficult..there are people who love and care for me and they are the reason I keep on fighting to live..I have stayed far away from people so that my sadness and depression dont infect them..but the solitude and pain are almost unbearable..I know people are praying for my peace and well-being and I am beyond thankful for this..I just know that if there was ever a time that I needed that love and support now is it..I may be broken down but I will never stop standing up for Big Bob..ever🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾#life #grief #loss #depression #sad
People always say that time heals all wounds..I wish I could say that I agree..but my reality is that I haven't healed in a way that makes me feel better..and every time it gets closer to the anniversary of Big Bob passing it feels like I've been gutted like it just happened..im praying for all of my friends who have suffered the loss of a loved one for healing and well-being as I pray for my own healing😪🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾#life #grief #loss #honorthyfather #depression
Contrary to popular belief I am still useful as a man and human being..I'm just no longer available to be used like a human battery..take it how you want to take it🙏🏾💯👊🏾👌🏾#life #lifeexperience
Every word of this meme applies to me..any type of traumatic brain injury is a terrible thing to face and difficult to recover from..some people are never able to recover at all..so the fact that I can even post this is both a miracle and a blessing..I am no one's choice for anything anymore but what I am for sure is an example of what refusing to give up looks like..life has beaten me to my knees..but The Most High has lifted me up when I couldn't pick myself up..and for this reason I will continue to fight to live🙏🏾💯👊🏾🙌🏾👌🏾#life #lifeexperience #stroke #strokerecovery #strokewarrior
4 years ago today I suffered back to back bilateral strokes..I didnt know how close I came to dying until much later..but I did know that when I woke up the left side of my body wasn't working..I was so confused that I shot this video because I didn't have the words to explain it..I was in ICU for almost 30 days and I remained partially paralyzed for 6 months..not being able to do the most basic things for myself was humbling and depressing..things like taking a shower were potentially life threatening learning how to walk again, shave, tie my shoes and so many others things was incredibly difficult..my family and beloved friends did everything they could to help me but it has been a long and lonely process..I have come so far physically but my mind and spirit are still recovering..I have lost so much but I haven't lost my life or my will to live.and for this I'm truly thankful..the people that left me alone broke my heart but I now know that I am better off without them..the material things I've lost have been replaced or are in the process of being replaced..the sadness and depression has been offset with a relentless will to live..im not 100pct at all but I am closer than ever..and nothing will ever stop me from trying..and I say that after questioning my own existence just a few days ago..im still alive for a very real reason and I'm going to do everything I can to follow through and meet my destiny🙏🏾💯👊🏾🙌🏾👌🏾#life #lifeexperience #stroke #strokerecovery #strokewarrior
Ok I need to be clear @eltacosocietymx is my new favorite taco spot in Spring Branch..that said, there is no way a 1 oz container of guacamole plus a handful of chips is worth 8.00..I honestly feel like I got tricked🫤..it wont stop me from going back..but I wont be getting and guacamole or queso.. #houston #foodie #tacos #guacamole #springbranch
I was a happy kid..now im trying to find him..he is lost in my soul and im trying to set him free🙏🏾💯❤️🙌🏾#life #lifeexperience #innerchild #innerchildhealing #selflove
I have never been a quitter, but I wanted to today which is out of character for me..I'm not a selfish or ungrateful man and have never used or taken advantage of people..if anything people have used or taken advantage of me..I don't blame anyone for anything because it ultimately is my responsibility to manage how people treat me..Im just worn out and praying for a better day tomorrow 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾#life #lifeexperience #mentalhealth #choices #keeponkeepingon
