Heard from a buddy Ted!
And he's really sad. His wife left him for a man she met on the internet. Things didn't work out so well for her so she wanted to come back. He refused to let her return. He had a thriving business but California 50-50 law is designed that no matter who's at fault each gets half of everything even if he worked hard to build up his business. He had to sell it and now he's working the 9 to 5 thing and he's heartbroken about all the turmoil. I spoke to him today and we're meeting for dinner on Saturday night and a couple of beers.It is now my turn to return the favor of friendship. I knew this man when he was just a youngster of 13. I worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers and I caught him sneaking into the stadium. I took an interest in this little "skunk" and I invited him to my office. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Several years later my boss backstabbed me and I retaliated. I lost my job and everything as well. My home, my wife and I went into a tailspin.
By now Ted was married to this woman and he started a business and everything looked so good for him. I had no job and I was bitterly defeated. I took all of this real hard! He put me to work and I never looked back. I don't have all that I had before but I have enough and I always have a roof over my head and food in the fridge.
I am happy I will be there for Ted on Saturday like he was for me tears ago. God gets all praise and glory, Amen!

I know it's too sad of a story but on the other hand I will be reciprocating friendship and company to a young man, at that time, that could have laughed at me like everyone else was. But he didn't and I am fortunate for his friendship and I will be there for this buddy!
I'm Glade you took it in the Light it was Meant!!
I Dont do Sad good Do I ????
That is what friends are for. I'm glad you could be there for him and if possible help him the way he did to you. Send him my best regards, and tell him that when something has come to an end, it does not mean life stops, it's just taking a turn to a new interesting better direction.
Sorry i missed you.
Thanks for your comments as well. Yeppers, he needs support. What happened to me happened years ago so I'm fine. But Ted needs support now!!
That's for sure!
