ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH:

“When I look at this picture, it tells me all the struggles that I had in the past, present and now—it's telling me what my future could be looking like. Also, this picture represents a year after I had a heart surgery, and it's letting me know that my kids is the light of my life. They helped me come a long way from all my struggles and my past to where I am now. I'm actually back to healthy. I'm more happy than I've ever been.”
