"THE DROP"

By John Stallings



Last night Juda & I enjoyed a Mexican meal with my eldest daughter Marvelyne, her daughter Madison & hubby Marcus.

As always, Carson, Marcus’ faithful Black Lab service dog was present. Carson doesn’t have a lot to say [I’m kidding] but a lot of love shines through those hazel eyes.

I believe I’ve shared with my readers the story of Marcus being blinded by a drunk driver in a car crash in his home town of Saint Louis, Mo. Marcus was eighteen. He made a valiant comeback & travels the nation as one of the most effective & in demand motivational speakers out there. Marcus, Marvelyne & family now make their home in Orlando.

“The drop” tells the story of Marcus’ accident & subsequent recovery. As part of that recovery he was dropped off miles from his rehabilitation center with only a cane- & found his way home. Marcus did this despite not being allowed to ask directions from anyone & of course Carson wasn’t in the picture yet.

The film only runs seven minutes but is done in a highly professional manner & is well worth watching. One of my twin daughters, songwriter/ recording artist Martha Munizzi, is one of the writer/producers on the film & plans are in the offing at some point to make it into a full length movie with a national release.

At the top of the blog page, a link is provided if you’d be interested in watching “The Drop.”


May you be blessed by Marcus’ story.


Blessings,


John
