what a day

I was woke up to a phone call from my mother...my uncle was found in his home, passed away. I'm ok with it, mostly. He was sick, had been for awhile, and lived alone, no wife or kids.

Well, some other stuff took place this afternoon....pretty heartbreaking. I don't wanna talk about it here in public, at least not right. It's still soaking in I guess.

If i'm gone a few days or weeks, or however long it is, know i'm safe, not hurt, and  sure not doing something stupid.
You guys are like family and i hate walking away with stuff unsaid...but i gotta get my head on straight with some family issues before i can really deal with car stuff...not saying i wont pop on occasionally...but my priorities are screwed up.

this is the worst thing to ever have happened, and the one thing I ha hoped never would.

i'll be back...sometime...peace, love and happiness to all.

Well, I'm back. Thanks for the kinds words everyone, they mean more more than you know. :bowdown:

Ummm, I'll elaborate on the other situation, but just a little..
Nicole left me for reasons I'll not go into, but we talked a little bit of the course of the day (Friday) and after some communication, she came back home.

I'm not really one to air dirty laundry in public, but she brought some things to my attention that I needed to focus on more than a Thunderbird or a website. So while;) I may not be so visible here or on Facebook, I'm only a text or a message away.

My uncle had a very nice service, and it was good to see family that is far away, even though the cirspoogestances totally blew horsenuts.
Anywho, there's my last 5 days in a nutshell, and it's amazing how much better you feel after a good night's sleep. I need to start taking better care of ME before I'm the next one in a casket.

Thanks again guys...I'm happy to call you all friends.:bowdown:

I'm glad to see things are working out for you. You just got to be willing to listen and so does she, as long as you have communication you'll be able to work through most anything. I've had alot of adjusting to do in my life and I'm still working on it. I've lived alone for the past 15 years, I didn't even date much during that time until I met Sharrie, we're going on 2 years this march. She moved in back in june and I couldn't be happier, but it's not been all that easy for me because I'm used to everything my way, so now I've been having to compromise. Luckily she's been patient with me and loves me enough to give me some space when need be. It just comes down to communication. I think that's about the best advise I could give you. Take care man.
