Authors note: not a piece of fiction

As much as a story sounds crazy and wild and fictitious it is not fictitious you can ask my mother who now lives in a retirement home about what happened to me and my stupid mistakes and her own stupidity you can ask my friends and family at the group home as well as my aunt are you gonna ask my friend Jan, and you will expect that it'll correspond with what I have gone through in this book there is no sugarcoating in this book but then again this is not fiction this is real life real stupidity and real brilliance and real kindness as much as this sounds far-fetched it is not a lie it is the truth I am the one who I've lived it I have people who have had a deal with me living with it and you can ask them yourselves. If you do not believe them but this is based on true events in my life all the people in my life I have not changed The names or anything else for that matter I want us to be as honest and truthful as possible to the point where I am also cussing and swearing. This is the most earthiest thing you've ever read even though it sounds ridiculous half the time. This is what war does just someone and what terrorism does this someone also is what music can do to someone to heal someone and also what a little bit of mindfulness and a little bit of kindness can do. This is not a bullshit story this is my actual memoir about my actual life adoptive Canada. It is a bittersweet story 10 years from now I'm going to start up another memoir in this one will be a lot slower because it's not as bad as the beginning of my life was things have slow down since I went to the group home and now I'm doing a lot better. You'll get a glimpse of that in my next memoir pretty soon which will be in about six or maybe three years. Just to give you an idea what life is like. And then one on my mothers age 67 I am expecting to do another of myself another memoir of my senior years before I croak this is just the beginning of three I don't know what the titles will be called but they'll be a lot more wholesome because they're not as extreme as what I have experienced in childhood and before I went to the group home.

This is a book based on my life. As I learned through my life I learned the truth is more stranger or more fanciful than fiction and more interesting than fiction. Even though this has been an unbelievable book this is not fiction this is an actual truth some thing that some people cannot get around their heads.
