Where to begin 🤔... let's just say I had a series of unfortunate events.
Got divorced, my pops passed away, mom passed away shortly after, lost my good job and was black balled from the financial industry till my "do not complete" contract was up. During which time my apartment was burglarized (I lost everything except a suitcase of clothes and my car), then my original GT transmission went out while crossing a railroad track with a train coming. Broke, homeless, and depressed for a while (thank goodness for family), I took some odd jobs outside my career but nothing stuck. One of my brothers reminded me of the story of Job and that helped. During my time between jobs I volunteered at a nonprofit to help my community (not court appointed). Ex-wife moved several hundred miles away and I was unable to see my little girl for a long time. Switched careers, found another GT that was in needed a little TLC. Worked and got back in school. (Still attending) Then I had my 2nd little girl with my GF. She stood by me throughout all of this or so I thought. Recently, I found out that while everything was going on she had and was cheating on me, several times with a few different people. We are currently trying to work it out for our kid's sake but she knows that she is on her last straw. Then Covid hit. We were sick for about 2 weeks, a little worse than the flu. Months later and feeling fine until one day when I wasn't. That day my 02 dropped to 40%, my blood pressure was crazy high 146/99, my heart rate was all over the place (standing up @ 120 bmp, laying down @ 50 bpm). I had several chest pains so went to the doctor. Now, much like the Eagles, I am taking it easy. I am replacing the clutch in the new GT but taking my time. I feel like I am getting a second chance, a redo and this time I will do better.
Sorry for "bending your ear" but you asked. The past 10+ years have been hard but I still keep on keeping on. Thanks for asking!
