Holler Critter,
Keep the faith my friend, a year and a half ago I was you, Health problems had almost destroyed our family, my wife was working very,very hard to keep us afloat, I was so depressed not being able to work, that it affected our whole family,and then when I thought nothing could get worse... it did, we lost our 23 year old son to a drunk driver 3 weeks after he came home from Iraq,I was lost in deep despair,didn't want to live this "crappy" life anymore, so I made my own gun , waited till everyone was gone, went out back, and contemplated the life I was about to leave, and for some reason that I can only believe was divine intervention,I was drawn back into our house, to a spot where I kept our old kodiak bow, I hadn't touched that old bow in 5 years, but I grabbed it and some arrows and went back outside,well when my family returned an hour or so later I was still outside shooting that old bow,smiling, enjoying, my family just stood there watching, I didn't see them at first, but when I did ,my wife had tears streaming down her face,and said "your back", she knew that in the short time that they were gone that "my" life had changed, 4 days later I visited my cousin who lived 25 miles away, he wanted to show me something, we drove a few miles down the road to a property with a for sale sign, overgrown and unkept with the biggest trees you ever saw, and as we walked around the back, we saw a garage , a pond, a creek, this place was beautiful!,I had dreamed of a place just like this all my life, that day my family and I went to the realtor, they wanted $49.000,there's no way we could afford that, but we offered them 30, the next morning we got a call...... our offer was accepted... we had a home! and it was ours!! I tell you this not for sympathy, but to let you know that tomorrow is another day and we know not what it holds for us, the littlest things can change our lives,God speaks to us every day we just have to listen, I will pray for you and you family my friend,just look for the silver lining, it's there, it's always there................God Bless,Steve
