Vacation Thoughts

I just realized that I never wrote a word about my recent vacation and visit with the boyz back east...

Good times had by all... 3 brothers from separate mothers getting together to talk, drink, laugh and see just how lucky we all are... each with our wives, a son and daughter each, homes and stable jobs...

I don't think I could have survived if I stayed in NJ (honestly)... there would have been too damn much pressure and being a good distance away is good for me... not as many temptations, etc...

Only problem is that the family (mom, dad, friends) are getting older and it gets harder to fathom someone not being there at some point... everyone's healthy overall and I'm thankful for that... I'm also happy that I got to see an aunt, uncle and cousin who mean the world to me...

The upcoming years will certainly be hard, but there was a lot of love back there and always will be... I sure hope they all understand (honestly) why I'm here instead of there...

I talked it over with my friend last night and she thinks everything is OK and I trust her instinct just because of who she is and what she's been for me in the past...
