About this ebook
The storms of life, they are yours and they are mine. These storms can seemingly take on a life all of their own, controlling the minute to minute that then become our lives. They bring about outcomes we dont want, leaving chaos and pain in their wake. What happens to the human spirit when catastrophe strikes unannounced?
This is a story about a mournful soul who loses his footing as he journeys against formidable foes. The kind of foes that threaten life as we know it. It is the story of a giving God who loves us in spite of ourselves. It is a story that defines who we become. This is my story!
It is a real life story about the storms of life, the catastrophic kind the kind that threatens life, the kind that creates unprecedented chaos. It is the story about a young woman and her battle against a formidable foe, an enemy so strong that it wreaks havoc on the human form. It is the story about a move to a new land amidst the chaos that ensues, and a young child, who develops suspicious symptoms, foretelling a future no one asked for or wanted.
This is not another self-help book from a leading and studied expert. I am not that guy. I did want to write a meaningful story, one that I lived, and partner it up with soulful and heartfelt thoughts and insights that will resonate with you, and help you find your own way forward through some kind of adversity, should it land on your doorstep, unannounced! After all, we are all in this game of life together.
Beyond The Rainbow Promise is a heartfelt journey through the darkest of days, where lives hung in the balance, and life as I knew it was at risk. Multiple attacks on my spirit beat me so low I think Ill never get back up and face another, painful day. So what happens to my heart, my spirit, as I journeyed through the darkest of days? And where was God when I needed Him most?
Robert M. Ottman
PERSONAL: It is a cold and gray December 31st in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Friends and family were focused on revelry and resolutions, but not Natalie and I. We were focused on something very different… results and recovery. There had to be a practical explanation for the mass that was rapidly growing under Natalie’s left arm. Practitioners were perplexed, and so were we. After many doctor visits and exams, the answers we yearned for proved to be elusive. But the mighty hammer of fate strikes a catastrophic blow to our hearts this particular New Year’s Eve day. Fate calls out to the mournful with a horrific prediction, and our happy lives spin out of control as cancer enters our realm. Amidst the ensuing chaos that consumes our lives, we find ourselves moving to a new land, and our young son develops suspicious symptoms of his own, threatening an already chaotic world. PRESENT: I grew up in the northeast and come from a family of 8 children. I attended Eastern Connecticut State University, where I obtained my BS in education. After teaching for 5 years, I moved into corporate America, and recently retired from my role as a key leader from Aflac. I am happily married, and my wife and I live in Upatoi, Georgia and have 5 children between us, and have been blessed by 2 grandchildren.
