Owe that man my life. Great boss, there's quite a few that wouldn't have bothered. *He may have forced the choice, but you made it, and stuck with it. *I had two friends that couldn't make that choice, one died of a burst esophagus, another they found in a snowbank. He was a good guy and had his own battle with demon rum when he was younger so he understood it. *The key was he knew it was up to me - I had to take responsibility for myself. *Changed my whole outlook on life. Congratulations on having the willpower to tackle that disease. Lots of good people fall to the wayside.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Time to have a talk with your son? |
