"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty I'm free at Last."

"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty I'm free at Last." In the midst of committing suicide at age forty-four, my mind paraphrased those words, spoken long ago by Martin Luther King, Jr. I've intentionally used the phrase "committed suicide" as opposed to attempted suicide because I succeeded. EMT's and doctors declared me dead, twice, and I remembered "Seeing the Light." That Light definitely came from the Heavens, since it appeared in the distinct shape of a cross-not simply a bright light. For those of you who've never wondered why God chose to put you on this Earth, you're lucky. From a toddler I knew I wasn't among the lucky ones. Life didn't improve over the years, or even decades, and I questioned what I'd done to God to allow life to treat me the way it had. I survived every form of child and domestic abuse imaginable, lived with a family having close ties with the Mafia, worked at the United Nations for a Soviet spy, managed an all-male rock group, and overcame intense experiences with the cult-driven Rolling Stones. What else could God have in mind for me, I asked? His answer came in a way I never imagined, and the answer was truly a miracle.
