Stuck,

Hey brother - hope you continue to hand in there and stick around the board. Not just to help others but because you have friends here. Actually more than that, think of it as more like an extended family

I know seeing the pain in your children and how the have to grow up so suddenly really hurts. They will need someone to help show them how to survive and thrive just like you do. They don't have the luxury to be able to talk to their friends. They will look to you. I know you will do that for them.

I do know how painful and shameful the feeling of failure must be sitting in you heart and soul right now. I've felt it all year and still do at times. For me, as a guy, that is the ultimate hurt/guilt - failure. I had felt I failed my wife, my boys, my family and friends and myself.

What helped me is knowing I have lived honorably. By living honorably and sound the right things with honorable intentions, there is no failure.

Be strong my brother. I'm here for you as many others are
