Family,
I joined here back in August of 2010. After about 2 or 3 weeks, I felt MORE than welcome, here! It was GREAT! Made some life-long friends!!
When I joined, I had a fairly decent collection.....in my eyes, at least. I was introduced to a 'blind trade' by Brent and destroyed him. That started things for me
From that point, I somewhat 'laid in the cut'...watched/listened.
Certain things happened to certain people. That's all I'll say. At the same time, certain things were happening to me.
I put on a front and after a number of months, I just could not do it anymore. The following happened to me:
- Married 11/6/2010
- Lost my job 11/15/2010
- Found out on 4/27/2011 some disturbing news
- Landed dream job on 6/8/2011
- Found out on 8/3/2011 my wife was pregnant
- 8/4/2011 made me realize I was NOT going to raise my child with divorced parents
- 8/5/2011, started marriage counseling
- Present: Happy
Bottom line.....my life has been full of hurt and distrust. My guard is still up. I have MANY of friends on here and miss conversing with them in this manner.
I just felt that you all, my brothers, deservered an explanation for my absense. It may have been from this site, but never from your hearts.
Looking forward to this new chapter in my life and simply wanted to share it with you all. I will be a FATHER, in 3 weeks
Much love,
Jeff L.
