Filling in the Empty Spaces: My Story of Faith and Spiritual Self-Discovery
(2006)
Filling in the Empty Spaces is a personal testimonial
of faith and the resilience of the human spirit.
Bryan Edney takes us on his journey of transitioning from the depths of
personal opposition to the heights of spiritual triumph.
What makes a man born without privilege believe that he can move forward to
achieve great things and overcome insurmountable odds? How does a Gay,
African-American man defy the odds of where he is supposed to be,
statistically, and forge ahead in love, forgiveness and prosperity to where
he was meant to be?
The answer, according to him, is Faith, Prayer, Peace and
Self-determination!
He has lived through the deaths of two of the most significant people in his
life –his grandmother, Ethel, and unexpectedly his mother, Ruth. The losses
were compounded by the fact that they happened two weeks apart.
In the wake of the AIDS/HIV epidemic and in spite of the deaths of friends,
family and loved ones to the virus, this extraordinary man has found a way
to express words of hope to any individual who has felt forgotten or
abandoned in the wake of their circumstances. He credits his HIV-free status
to many of the lessons he learned from those who are no longer with us.
Death seemed to be happening all around him, but he believed enough in the
power within himself to see Life!
As a part of his healing process and at the advisement of a close, personal
friend, Edney has written these memoirs. They serve as written accounts of
what one can achieve, through faith, despite what one faces at the hands of
adversity.
“This is probably the most significant thing I could have done to give back
to my community, to honor my ancestors and to inspire others to move
forward,” he said. “Statistics said I shouldn’t be here, but I AM!”
Written in journal form, Filling in the Empty Spaces is a literary,
inspirational treasure to cherish and/or share with anyone who needs a boost
to their spirit.
