Excerpts of Protect Yourself and Stop Signs copyright ©Jean Albert Renaud/JAR and Lamont Battle 1998-2007


This is simply the history of my life filled with friendliness, love, anxieties and despair, inspired neither from a movie nor a novel, not an ordinary history. All the facts are real. Some names have been changed for privacy.
You may think many biographies have been written on that subject but I’m sure you’ll find mine exceptional; and I wish any of you will experience all I went through.
I want to write this book not only to get rid of negative feelings but also to bring a message of love and hope.
I would like to tell people who undergo the same things not to lose hope because life is worth living.
Never forget that there is always a light of hope when you are desperate, may be a person who love you and extend help when you feel overwhelmed. Any of us has a star above his head which leads him through life.
You may feel life is unfair and wonder why some people have too much and others on the contrary have nothing. Don’t give up, as long as there is life, there is a hope to win a battle in life.
Avoid loneliness, be with others, there’ll be someone in your surroundings who will be ready to help. Share your experience and be sympathetic with the frail ones.
Accept yourself as you are, because I tell you, what really count is what you have deep inside.
I assure you that if the future keeps other sufferings, I would be ready to cope, to lift my head again and again until my last breath; and if death would wait on me at a time of my course, I would be happy to having left this book to my family and friends and also to you.
With all my love,
Emanuel
