The Calm After the Storm

 

 

I certainly appreciate the sympathy and empathy provided by everyone in response to the story in my book.  I  want to tell everyone how much I appreciate this.  And I also want to say that throughout the storm, we managed to keep it all in perspective. And I would like to take this moment to thank Maria for coming back to my life and into my son’s life, and accepting us to be a part of her life.  I’m shitty when it comes to writing matters that are so close to my heart, so I will borrow from Christine McVie to tell Maria how I feel.

For you, there’ll be no more crying,

For you, the sun will be shining,

And I feel that when I’m with you,

Its alright, I know its right

 

To you, I’ll give the world

To you, I’ll never be cold

cause I feel that when I’m with you,

Its alright, I know its right.

 

And the songbirds are singing,

Like they know the score,

And I love you, I love you, I love you,

Like never before.

 

And I wish you all the love in the world,

But most of all, I wish it from myself.

 

And the songbirds keep singing,

Like they know the score,

And I love you, I love you, I love you,

Like never before, like never before.

Thank you Christine for putting it into words so many years ago what I wanted to say to Maria.

2 Comments to The Calm After the Storm

  1. One of the fast books I have read on my Kindle. I congratulate you for having made it through such a rotten mess. This is the kind of story that keeps readers, myself included, wondering if there will be a sequel? Is the hyena still in jail? Did your ex wife eventually get help with her addiction?

  3. Mr. Braswell, I am so sorry for the horrific events you had to endure. I’m also amazed at the courage and resilience you found within yourself when many others would have just given up. Myself- I plan on emulating your shining example when I feel overwhelmed in my own life.

    I agree with William’s comment- how about a sequel? I want to be assured of your hard-won victories, and I want to know that the guilty, selfish ones are receiving their just rewards.

crazy town: money. marriage. meth.

Sterling Braswell has two tickets to crazy town: one is his riveting personal account and the other is a thorough global history.

Sterling Braswell was a millionaire—palatial ranch, stock options, and money in the bank. Then he met his high school sweetheart after not seeing her for over ten years. With their love rekindled, they were married. Life was beautiful. They had no real worries, a lovely son, and a bright future.

Then she started using meth.

The craziness of the next few years would leave Sterling almost completely broke—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—and nearly murdered.
