Bradley,

really not sure I've got that in me at all


Oh, I bet you do.

That journey that was nicely summed up in a 5 minute read was actually days and months and a year of actual travel time, reached by one day, one hour and one minute at a time.

Here is the problem.
I am not saying it did happen I'm not saying it didn't happen.

Quote:

talked to son last night and he talked about how they 'all' went to Target this weekend and OM got him lego.


Your son is six.
I know that my boys when relaying a story get things mixed up. Your basing your reaction on the word of a six year old, who may not have gotten it all right. To him "they all" might mean his borther and his mother. It might mean his brother, mother OM sons and a giraffe.

Understand?

And you cannot press him, brother.

She might have been telling the truth she might not have. Sht man, they do lie, mostly to protect their integrity. Hahahahahahaha...I mean the perception of their integrity.

...
You are going to go up and down on this. You are going to be set in stone and then change your mind.

Right now you don't know if you can do this because they (possibly, likely) went to the store together and he got them legos. And spent the weekend with him.

Buddy, you are unable to enforce your will on the situation right now. Not because you are not supposed to with MLC, but because of the distance.

Telling her what she can or canot do is a losing proposition. She will spite you.

If you are looking at my sitch and thinking perhaps I figured out some magic way of averting years off of this...I didn't. I was just lucky, hell my wife still has MLC, but it is like 2 foot swells instead of 40 foot waves.

I LRTed AFTER she saw my improvements, after she saw how much better I had become.

You have two six year old boys, and a wonderful wife, who went f-ing bonkers, and you don't think you can do this?

Wuss.

: )

I say how can you NOT try?

You're f-ing special right?

Whatever the odds, 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 1,000,000. You be that 1. Got it?

Despite everything that happened later, when I first got here, I KNEW that I was going to be the 1.

How about you?

You're not a quitter, 9 years of tough as hell medical school and residency...and this is what is going to make you fail?
Some father who wasn't around for his daughter?
This button is what makes Bradley fail?

Hrnmm...

Man, you can fail, thats fine. But do EVERYTHING you can first, have no regrets. Have no doubts that you did your damndest first. Understand?
