as if it doesn't show...backwoodsbob is HAPPY

have my dogs back.I LOVE SUMMERVILLE...I LOVE LIVING AGAIN!!!!

The wife got a job as an assistant manager at a local bank.I'm leadman now at my job.The last 6 months have been a dream come true.I only wish all my DU friends can be as happy as I am.My life has literally done a 180 from a year ago.

As some here know I was miserable in Virginia to the point of severe depression.A year ago I tried to commit suicide.A broken 2 by 4 is the only reason I am still here.I tried to hang myself off my front porch. I was that depressed.NOW...it's like a different world.Saying my life has took a 180 would be an understatement

Tooling around in a Porsche doesn't hurt

The Budster is sitting here with me on the back patio while I drink a cold adult beverage..katie is doing things only a rat terrier would understand in the back yard She is fascinated with bugs the wife is ten feet away watching a movie and for the first time in years she is totally relaxed.LIFE IS GOOD

I just wanted to say to any of my DU friends who feel overwhelmed or hopeless there is always hope.There is always tomorrow.There is always a way.I found my way.I found the home I always needed and the life I needed so badly.It's out there...we have to grab it by the horns...or in Katies case...grab it by the insect wings

Love yall and thanks for putting up with me all these years

And your testiment to the fact that things can turn around might help someone else who's in the dark time.

You're pretty loveable yourself. Hugs to you and the lady and the Budster and that little palmetto tree. Your note does my heart good.
