Awe guess it's kinda funny... I'm always lookin for the good things about life...God know my life aint been anything like fun.. oh I had my moments... dam few they were I hung on to em like a baby possum clings to it's mama...
Yepp while most the folks I knew were scamperin about and chattering like a bunch of excited squirrells... I was like that curious dog sittin at the base of the tree wondering why I couldn't join in on the fun...
then the time flew by...
they say a divorce in Texas is like a tornado... cause somebody gonna loose a trailer... yepp I did that too...cute little old moble home...gone with the wind...
when my ex ran off with that old dog, felt like somebody stole me bone... and left me with a hungry pup to feed... I've sure enjoyed that pup... he's all but grown now... gonna be a fine hound ifins he can learn to speak when he spoken to and come when he's call. he make a good coon dog when it comes fall... awe ye know he aint no coon dog... to dam lazy to tree...lol... but I love em...
yeppers... kinda feel like a lonely old fool... maybe I should of tried harder... I know it feels like it's all my fault... somehow, someway... but the only fellow I can hold responsible for where I is... IS the fellow I see in the mirror every moanin when I wash my face...
sure aint no spring chicken...
more like the old rooster that's just been around too dam long an too tuff to eat... not to mention all those missin tail feathers...tuff old bird with a limp...
well I'll keep on scratchin and scroungin... some day they gonna haul my old butt outta this chicken coupe...then what... guess I'll just have to wait and see...
well gotta get the boy up fur school...
dont eat yellow snow... hehehe

You can let one dirty old woman of yesteryear kill your spirit.Or you can get up and kick all that gunk to the moon.Say enough is enough shake yourself off and show her that you are much stronger then her.
You have raised your son and darn well did a better job then some dads.Take some credit for the good things you have done and will do.
Dont lose hope and faith in yourself you are still capable of plenty of accomplishments.
The day you accept that she wasnt worth your pain you will forgive yourself for all those sour years.
Not fussing at you encouraging you.My children were from a divorce they turned out wonderful.Good educations,good jobs and sound stable minded men and women.
I did not cave in because of the creep I was married to I knew I deserved better then him.I found better and had a better life...left his butt in tha dustttt!!
I never gave him one moments satisfaction of moaning over his happy butt.I rejoyed in getting rid of trifling a** instead.
Dont let those memories get to you she aint worth it.Do something good for yourself and DJ you are the ones who deserves everything good.
BIG HUGS!!!

ps:
You probley wont answer this message but I hope you consider it anyway.
PPS;
Iam offended;
Not all people in texas have trailers.We are known for some nice big fancy homes here all over the place.You know that already.
:))
hey. i had a house too not as big an nice as yours but it was suppose to be funny even the ex and that old dog lol... sides I\'ve been dustin myself off for years lol... an i\'m still kinda dusty lol...
Size and nicer isnt important material things are just that material.
Its alright russ I know its hard for some people.I have had to pick myself up and collect my scattered peices too.Once I got them all together though and the puzzle fits.I kind of like to think that its a good thing to leave those peices undisturbed.
We dont have to stay ground into hamburger meat.Cause the people who tore us up never really gave a hoot....and never lost one moment of sleep over it but us.
Shake the last bit of dust off and show the world you are a much better man then she is a woman because you truthfuly are.
Aome heartaches dont have to last forever unless we refuse to let it go.
I care about you partner and I have faith in you.

You know, I have ENJOYED very much reading this!! Rachel, you are a smart cookie!!
Russ, Rach is right!! You have a LOT to be Proud of!! Raising Your Son, and Loving Him like you do..........:)
It\'s obvious from your pictures, too, that you are a very Loving Man....
Yes, it\'s not the size that matters....when that Judgement Day comes, reckon what will be the most Important Things.....don\'t think it will be material possessions, but other things.....
The bigger the house, the more stuff, the MORE to take care of....so there are pluses and negatives to everything....
You really should give yourself a pat on the back, Russ....
Rach, you really have a way of recognizing the Best In People!!.....:)
xoxoxo
I think you are way too hard on yourself. I can sit here and say just forget about her, but that\'s because I am sitting on this side of the fence. But I still think you are way to hard on yourself. Is there an echo in here? LOL
~~Faye~~
