"What does one say about a delicate blossom that suddenly appears by your computer, full of the subtleties and scents that only a creature of nature could show his visage? What does one say about the compassionate soul who has reached out so many times to succor and preserve us as our troubles swim upstream against the currents of life? Carlos Michael is so much more than a friend; he honors us with his very presence and concerns. He is my friend, the child of my heart, a true guide through the malaise of our blighted society."
(Frazer Jones, Retired, National Product Manager, AIG/American General Life)
For over 30 years Carlos Michael suffered the shame and humiliation of childhood sexual abuse while balancing his life between his love of God, homosexuality, life in the seminary, two failed marriages, the death of a close friend, the pain of loving his children, and not knowing where he stood in God's plan for his life--until that Monday in 2005 while visiting Baltimore, Maryland.
