Eric's Story

Well what can I say ? I have gotten old and fat . No pictures of me, the years have not been kind . Though I must say some of you are still looking good . At this point in my life . I am doing well enough . I have two strong sons ( smart too ) , and a daughter of much grace and loveliness ( smarter than her brothers ) . But at this time . alas no grandkids . After I left school I made a hard left turn . Forgetting all my dad had taught me about God and country . My first wife left after three years . I don't blame her now , but at the time I hated her for it . As a single dad I had to grow up fast . I had to do jobs that now I am told Americans won't do . Well all I can say is this boy did what he had to to keep food on the table . At one time I was working three jobs to keep from going bankrupt . After the company I was working for at the time went belly up . The life I have lived has ...Expand for more
not been easy . Still I have had more ups than downs . At my lowest and darkest point . My Dad (though he has now passed on to his reward ) was there to help me back into the light . And my wife of 24 years is still at my side . ( though she deserves much better than me ) I have seen my kids grow up into good and kind people . And my Mom is still here to keep me in line. A man can't ask for more . God has seen fit to give me what I need , when I needed it . Even a swift kick now and then . I write this knowing most will never read it. For I know most don't care. But for the few who might wonder what ever happened to that skinny little tree hugger . I am doing well as a God fearing redneck. For I now remember what my dad taught me about God and country. May the Lord bless you and keep you . If we ever meet again I don't think you will know it's me . P.S. I put back the pic of me & Jonathan I don't look to fat in it.
