A Little Help From My Friends

What would you do if sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I haven't posted in a while, its been a tough year. I lost my grandfather back in July of 2011, and most recently, grandmother this past February. I've never known life without them. They were an active part of my life from the time I was born. I even lived with them off and on throughout the years. There home was always a constant to me growing up, and a safe haven. I spent many of my weekends and summers at their house. In 2000, my wife and I bought a home in the same neighborhood and on the same street, and our daughter stayed with my grandparents each day while we worked. My daughter was my grandfather's life. Each night he would call and ask me, "Whats my baby want for breakfast tomorrow?"

What do I do when my love is away,
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel at the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

Over the past couple of years, there has been some chaos and drama in my family. Therefore, I distanced myself. But the support from my friends after the deaths was unbelievable. I have to say that I am so blessed to have the friends that I have. They have supported me, comforted me, cried with me, drank with me, and helped me in ways that I could never repay. I get up each morning and thank God for my friends, and ask Him to give me the grace to get through the day.

Proverbs 27:9
Just as lotion and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul

Though each day brings a new challenge.....

I get by with a little help from my friends.
I get high with a little help from my friends.
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.


True friendship is.... on this cowboys mind.



A special thank you to Alanna, Caitlyn, Richard, Kim, Bob, Robert, Esther, Angel, Jimmy, Chris, Summer, Don, Joanne and many others. Your support has kept me going. Thank you......
