Listen to What Frank Garon Has To Say When He Answered the Heroes Question "When Was The Lowest Point In Your Life and How Did You Change Your Life Path To One Of Victory Over the Obstacles You Were Facing at That Time?"
Frank Garon: Well, who’s to say that I’m not at the lowest point in my life right now? If I was able to look back and look at my entire life history and how the story ends, that’s one way I look at it.
I like to look at it as I’m not in as good of shape and I’m not as happy and I’m not as healthy and well-rounded and successful as I am going to be tomorrow, because, like I say, I try to work on continuous improvement.
On the other hand, it is also important to know where I came from. I think going bankrupt was pretty low, and when my grandmother on my dad’s side died on Christmas day 1980, that was pretty low.
I think choosing to leave my previous marriage, knowing that I would never raise (then Frankie wasn’t even two years old), knowing that the decision that I was making that was “best” for all of us, was a decision that would have me not under the same roof as him, to love him and protect him and kiss him goodnight every night.
I’d honestly have to say that that one right there, now that I think about it, that was a low point. There’s not too much lower than you can get, than saying, “Alright, this relationship is very unhealthy. If I stay, it’s going to destroy my son, too. Teach him bitterness, and anger, and spite, and fighting and things like that. So I’ll just be a man about it and leave, so he can live a better life.”
I’ve got to say, that was not a good day. I laid on the floor and I cried once my ex-wife and my son drove away. I felt like my world ended. I would still, however, make that decision again at that moment in time. That would be my answer.
