November 6, 1952. This morning I woke up in the arms of the only girl I have truly loved. If today is the first day of the rest of my life, it is getting off to a great start, isn't it? Roush chronicled his life through letters to his mother; a mother he had not seen since he was five years old. As a young boy, Joseph, along with his sister and brother, was abruptly sent to a Montana orphanage, never to see his mother again. However, with hope in his heart, he wrote to her as if she was only across the country and shared all his struggles and joys. Follow Joseph as he leaves the Army and starts a new stage of his life-marriage. You'll be encouraged and inspired by the life journey of one man who overcame painful trials with an attitude of joy and gratitude.

His motto is: Life is good. God is great. He says, "While I've had many misfortunes and difficulties, God has always been faithful to take care of me and bless me beyond what I could have ever hoped for."
