Some people are just plain shallow and blind. Call me OLD, call me gullible but I choose to err on the side of goodness and what is right in life. Until you're in a car crash or have a major life altering experience you can't know whether your life could be altered to such an extreme. I've been there and done that!
NEWS flash for some of you shallow minded fools... FYI you don't even have to have a major incident happen to one day wake up and realize you might be living your life WRONG.
I've been living a very very dark life since my failed marriage 11 years ago. I've hidden myself away from the real world in fear, depression and pain by sitting behind this computer almost ever since then. As you've heard before, I seldom missed a day of DP in 8 years. I got fat, I stayed depressed inside, and for over 4 years have refused to even try to date. I've managed to make enough money to barely pay the bills and take care of my 3 children.
Basically, I died inside and gave up on life. I'm not sure if anyone noticed or really cared but I've only played DP now 3 times in the past month and a half.
Some call it luck, I call it a work of GOD but I've been graced with a job that pays me very very well and my life is definitely changing for the good. I've lost 18lbs in the past 3 weeks, my bills are being caught up with my first 2 week check, and I feel better than I have felt in many years. For the first time ever, I can say "Life is GREAT!"
Anyway, Pierce... I believe you completely... Thank GOD you lived through that!! I commend you for being man enough to offer such an apology and sharing yourself to this extent. I hope others follow your cue and learn something from all this.
I accept your apology whole heartedly and offer the same to you.
