Fred’s Books – Fredisms
In the summer of 1998, I awoke in a Houston hospital paralyzed on the left side of my body and having lost the memory of the last 20 years of my life. I was only 35 years old at the time. I had the memory of a 15-year-old. I didn’t recognize my wife and I couldn’t understand why my parents looked so old to me. Up until the stroke they would later diagnose me with, I took a lot for granted; my friends, family, neighborhood, my country, my God. I was only looking out for me. Oh I’m sorry, me and money.
When I was released from the hospital I began a journey I believe we must all take at some point in our lives and that is the journey to find out “who I am”. I read the Bible, The Qur’an, The Dead Sea Scrolls, took a stab at “Aramaic” the language of Jesus Christ and any other book I could get my hands on to help me with the many questions of, “Why am I here? Why are any of us here? What is the purpose of life?”
During my journey, I started a personal journal of my thoughts and conclusions. I nicknamed the journal ‘Fredisms”. I poured my heart into that journal with every observation and thought regarding the meaning of life that I came up with. I carry my journal with me to this day.
One day my publisher accidentally stumbled across my journal and just assumed it was a new book I had written. I replied, “No, it’s just my thoughts on what life means to me and why I believe we are all here”. She asked permission to read it. When she was done she told me that I must share my journal with other people. That my insights could help light the way for others when they found themselves in darkness. After weeks of prodding I agreed. But under one condition, no editing, all the personal stuff that maybe the world would not understand, must stay. First and foremost this is my journal. I know life is a journey to a destination unknown, but if my book can be a compass, I’m glad.
Sincerely,
Fred
