I truly miss you Jelly. I am uncomfortable with how I responded to your suggestion last week. I could not have taken any other path then the one I chose but in doing so I feel like I let you down and rejected you. To do the right thing is difficult when the right choice goes against one's wants and desires. While writing this I realize I am now grasping at the attachment I feel from our friendship and a sense of loss from how my actions affected our friendship. My actions have caused change.

roiste, I am slowing making changes to my behavior. I speak out when I perceive injustice instead of allowing my silence to support the wrong side of a position. I am trying to advocate when I witness suffering. These events are happening for the most part at work. My eyes are open to the suffering going on around me. Through this journey of self discovery I have become able to sense others pain and empathize with them.
At home there are no issues to stand up for, my wife leads a separate life from mine. She does not talk to me, she chose to cleave herself from the life we have built. She is a ghost. I am with my kids much more and my time on this site is way down. I have evolved to trying to be in my kids life whenever possible, being present in their lives. This opportunity is only available to me now and I will not squander it.
dday, I miss you. It would be nice if you lived near by, I would enjoy your company. I am mounting the four door panels on my grow box today. My daughter is helping me. It's a double win, my daughter's company and my project's evolution. Maybe the grow box is a metaphor for my own personal growth. Please stop bye your presence has great value to me.
Peace, Jelly, roiste, dday and all of my other dear friends
