Babbling About My Life

Its so good to be me. I am really enjoying my new life. It is very quite at times and sometimes I wonder how I got here. I believe it is due to you, my reader, that I have found faith in myself. I am doing very well.

I actually now have a nice looking apartment, thanks to donation of furniture from the DI.
Its amazing to think that there are so many shelters that help the homeless and now they are cutting back funding because they think the problem is going away. I don’t think this is a wise move considering that there are still many homeless that may have recently got out of a homeless situation but could very well still be just one paycheque away from being homeless once again. I am not saying that it will happen, but it is a real possibility. I think that by cutting funding it could cause problems in other shelters where some people really do not wish to be and are now being forced out of their comfort zone to a new shelter. Mark my words, you will start to see problems come the end of 2011 with the shelters.

I would like to say that I am going to see my kids soon but I would be lying. I actually now have to jump through hoops because their mother is making me look like a monster towards the courts. I, however will not let this bring me down and I will continue to fight for my right to see my children.

Basically now I need to prove that some of the things she is lying about are not truth and I need to provide proof that I am doing well in life. The one thing that really pisses me off is the fact that she noted in her affidavit that apparently the children are very scared of me. I don’t know what it is that she has been telling them, but I know that I never ever hurt my children and they were very happy being with dad, the last time I saw them. It really upsets me that she would run me down, when I have never said anything bad about her. It almost makes me wonder what I ever saw in her. The truth is, I still wont talk bad about her and I love her, for she gave me 2 wonderful gifts in life. Their names are Tyler and Destiny.

Enough with that for now, I will do what it takes and I will have them back in my life someday, just a little longer then I wanted. Not to worry, I have hope and faith in myself.

I would like to mention that I am attending the CTI program at the DI for another 2 weeks, I actually started on May 2nd and am doing very well. I have now passed 4 different courses and am well on my way to graduating at the top of the class.

I will not ramble on any more, but I did want to mention that I really enjoy helping Kim with Walking With the Homeless and actually look forward to the days we go down and give back to the people , where I once was. I find it is the best way to keep me to going back to drugs. I no longer use crack cocaine nor smoke weed or any other type of drug, and for that I am Grateful

Thanks for letting me ramble, until next time, be kind to a homeless man or woman today, they too are people.

Thanks,
Tim Barber
