Not sure why...it just seems like my luck in life has always been somewhat f’d up, with a few breaks here and there...we’ve all been there. And I’ve done some foolish, f’d up things in my travels...gone to jail a few times for a wknd stay many yrs ago. We better ourselves, we quit being so damn arrogant, feeding ourselves before others.
My main deal is my kids are healthy and happy, thank God...and my life now at my age, 52, is for them. But I’ll take a damn good shot of ass with the best of ‘em...and there’s been a hundred times it was a 15-30 min deal...and ‘sweetie, you gotta go get you the latest subscription of Outdoor Life or Guns & Ammo on the coffee tables in the living room...’cause there ain’t too many subscriptions of Cosmopolitan around here.’
One 18-yr marriage was enough for this white boy...but my kiddos have shined, and I’m thankful for that stress relief. Renee’, their mother, we live 8 miles apart, came and ate Turkey Day with us. We shared the same attorney back in ‘06 when we divorced. We’ve never had a bad word btwn us since then. I was that odd bird that never got drug down a bad divorce alley. She could’ve made it hard on me...I paid the child support, but she could’ve made it hard. She and I text or talk a few times a week, been that way since our divorce. It’s all about the kids and how you give them opportunities to shine...without friction and bullshitt in their lives. I’m blessed, bar none!
But you folks have shined every single time I’ve been at a crossroad since I’ve been here...it’s amazing how many good folks are in in this group. Stand up folks willing to give anything, or help a man.
Pretty damn good in my book!
Semper Fi!
