It was just a little more than 3 years ago. Dad was diagnosed, I didn't cope well, I stuck with him until the bitter end. But personally, in my own life, I proceeded to make some of the worst decisions of my life. (Believe me...that's saying something, I've made some real Doozies in my 52 years in this"existence") I started a downward spiral that I think I'm just now levelling out of. Along the way, I lost a couple friends that I never expected to bail. I've also gained some friends, and strengthened friendships, to form new relationships that I hope will continue long into the future. But, I learned something from that. Hopefully, I won't make some of those mistakes again. . . All I can do is try my best every day, strive to be the best me I can be. I try to treat others as I would want to be treated, in business, in my personal life, in every aspect. I stand with those who have stood with me. If some think they are better off without my friendship, I wish them well. I hope that decision works out well for them. I've always tried to be a good friend to all my friends, maybe I haven't always succeeded, but not for wont of trying. I am finally seeing how I devalued myself, trying to keep friendships because they were long standing relationships that I had a decade or decades invested in. That time meant something to me, and I hated to just watch it go down the drain. But true friendship is like dancing, it takes two to tango...and you can lead a horse to water... well, I think you get the point. I just hope everybody is happy. That's all I've ever truly wanted. Goodnight, and good luck fb peeps. Live long and prosper! >
