Saying Goodbye To My Grandfather.....



It's not easy losing someone you love and admire. My grandfather lived a great life and will be greatly. He was the friend of many and never had a evil bone in his body. This has really hit our family hard and I know it won't be easy going forward. As I look to his going home services tomorrow I look back on the great times we had as a family and the many laughs we shared.

I will use his hard work and determination as a foundation for going forward in achieving my own personal goals and aspirations.

R.I.P Grandpa... You will be missed.

Friends, Family, Associates, And Everyone Else...Where's The Breaking Point?


I remember going fishing as a small kid (hard to believe I was a skinny kid. I know!) and putting my bait on the hook, casting it out, and waiting to receive a hit. The first initial hit was amazing because it meant a fish was chugging on my line. After a few moments I would reel him on in, careful not to snag the line. You could always tell how big the fish was sometimes because of the tension in the line and how hard it was pulling. After a few times doing this you pretty much knew what you were getting being careful not to get too excited.

Fishing is sort of like when you bring people into your circle whether it be friend or family. We get caught up in the fact we have people around us despite what they may offer us. Point blank I have a hard time letting people go. I'm selfish at times (yeah I understand that) but I tend to see beyond people's imperfections. That was until I deciphered that everyone has that breaking point.
