RE: Fiddle Friday Update #7
Yea man. That happened to my gas mask post the other night. I was a happy man in the morning. Lol. But I am sorry to hear about your dad. But I will still thank him for his service! I'm a little tough on my boys sometimes too but i know it can only benefit them in the future. It's tough sometime to understand the world without the Corps. Lol. But thank youo so much for your support brother! I wasn't a crazy forced recon Marine like your pops though. Lol. He is a better man than I for that. Haha. No thanks. That's some tough stuff! :)
Many thanks. I know he would have appreciated it coming from a fellow Marine. I had actually gone down to talk to the Marines about joining after discussing it with him, but then I went back to school that semester and ended up breaking my damn back in a car accident and becoming paralyzed. Life can indeed be a shitstorm. How we handle the aftermath of the shitstorm determines our level of success regardless of circumstance, and that's where our upbringing comes into play. Parents who are soft on their kids are not doing their children any favors, especially if/when the offspring face real challenges in life.
But hell, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up...or if I want to grow up at all. One of these days I'm going to drop out of the rat race and disappear into the desert. I hope it's sooner rather than later.
Hey brother. everything happens for a reason! Maybe you had to break your back so you didn't take a bullet in the Corps! Still I'm sorry that happened to you but you also seem like you have a very positive attitude! Which is awesome. Gotta love life no matter what it throws at you! And I'm also still trying to figure what I want to be when I'm a big boy too. Hahaha. I'd like to own 100 acres in the middle of the woods somewhere. That's all I know for now!
Right on, man. Keep on keepin' on.
Same to you brother! :)
