The Day I Made a Decision

By Marion M. Jacobs

In the 20 years that Ive known MarionI can only say that Ive seen a boy grow into a man. Regardless of the distance that life has put between us, we always remained in each others lives at the craziest times. Its like being a part of someones life, sharing their pain and success as if you are in the same room with them while they experience whatever they are going through at that current moment. I know what it is to feel as if youve lost the person that you loveAlthough that person still remains alive in my life. I know what it feels like to be a single parent ultimately only wanting the best for your children. January 23rd, The Day I Made A Decision is a message for everyone to hear, especially the men in todays world. They need to know how great they are regardless of their past or flaws. They need to know that they have a purpose worth living for. I look forward to the other books that are a part of this E.V.O.L.V.E. Series. It will only challenge those that read them to evolve from their current situations into their true purpose in life. - Ebbie Blanca (Writer, Mentor, and Entrepreneur
