"Why don’t we give him away” were the words he heard at the age of 9.
He had just finished an argument with his dad, a common scene during his early childhood. Ray will be the first to admit that he probably wasn’t the most rule-abiding child, but somehow there was a constant battle between father and son. But this time, after wiping off the last tear in his room and hearing that his dad had left the house, he opened the door to his room to go downstairs to get some water. He stopped midway as he overheard a conversation between mom and uncle at the dining table. It was then that he overheard that sentence being said by his mom. It was words that were uttered out from his dad’s mouth when he was a heavily crying baby. It was devastating to hear and that was the moment which Ray felt he needed to prove the world wrong.
