TXBrad:Life

So lately I haven’t been happy nor myself. Actually, it’s been quite a while. Me feeling this way has been influenced on different things in my life. You see, I use to be a shy and happy guy. But that has all changed in recent years. Yes I’m still shy but not as happy as I use to be. And you may ask why is that? First is on the financial front. I (we) made some bad choices along the way and are paying the price for that. This is actually a huge reason to why I feel the way I do. Constantly being worried that something might happen is not a good feeling at all. I’m not going to go into all the details about it at this time but let’s just say, I (we) should have done things differently. Having to go from a tight budget to a really tight budget isn’t any fun. Life is a struggle no doubt but when you add in other factors such as this, it really can take a toll on a person and their well being.

And the next thing is events that have happened in my life in recent years. Such as our youngest son David. He was born premature (along with our other two children) and really needed help when he first entered this world to the point of being life-flighted out. But the hospital took great care of him and for the most part he is healthy. He does need some procedures done though soon such as tubes put in his ears cause of fluid which is effecting his speaking and hearing and a day surgery to fix a small hole that he has in his neck that he was born with. Hopefully all of this will go well.

Another thing that has happened in my life, happened last year. As many of you have known, my mom passed away in April of last year. It’s been a little rough for me since then and even leading up to her death. She died of cancer. It was terrible seeing her in the last stages of her life. To see a women that was so full of life to whittle down to nothing was hard to bare. I was pretty close to my mom (mama’s boy sort of speak) and I loved her very much. I still have fond memories of her and shed a tear from time to time thinking about them. I know she is in a better place now but it still sucked that she left this world so early. Mom was only 60 years old when she passed. So this weighs on my mind too.

I hope this sheds a little light on me and why I feel the way I do now days. I have a tremendous amount of friends from the online world that have helped me throughout some of this and I’m very grateful to have them as friends. I know I do have my moods but please keep all of this in mind. After all, I’m just human.
