HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Just when you think that summer could not end any better, enter Derron Christopher Cook. Twenty eight years to the date (the last day of summer) at on a Friday evening (Sept.22,1978) at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans,LA. I made a grand entrance into the world at 6pm. After rushing into the world thirty minutes after my mom reached the hospital, I am still on my journey in this life. Still embracing all the love and afffection that was given to me from day one of conception. I can only thank God for his grace and mercies that have kept me this long. Everyday that I wake is a new birth from the day before. In my twenty eight years of maintaining this spirit that was given to me to transform and mold, I am daily renewed and reminded as i breath of my obligation to cherish my gift of being.

As in my previous post rgarding travel to volunteer, I feel that I was granted this life to take chances and to make a difference in others being. I have come to realize that even if I fall short or fail at a given task or goal, I have the breath and opportunity to try again or to even go back to square one as many times as my spirit and God allows. That is why I can make goals that to some are unobtainable, because I have realized that even if I fail, I know that God is good and he will never let me go at this life alone.

Along this walk in life, I have met a great deal of friends. Friends that are present and friends with whom I have lost sight and contact. Knowing that all these people are apart of my spirit and being, I just want to say thank you and I love you for you contributions into my life. If I have not been anything more, it gives me great pleasure to know that we are friends. With love in mind, I part into you the greatness of the Creator in all that you do and attempt to accomplish. No matter how long we are set to be on this path together, just know that I appreciate the company and comfort that was given on this journey.

Happy 83,220th day of rebirth to me and all who walk with me,

Derron Christopher Cook a.k.a Dapper D
