The Dreams of men, we all have them, some of us dream of just being family men, holding a decent job, providing for those we love and carrying on in that way. Others want to be important, or politicians and such. Me I am happy with who I am and how I have lived my life. I ask for no help from anyone really, I am self sufficient so to say, I served my country for 16 years and I live a quiet life with my wife.
In each of us is a drive to do somethings, I did mine I joined the Navy, I traveled the world, met people from many countries and served with some of the best in the world. Learned from the best I say and I am proud never once did any ship I wa son, when I was on it have an engineering disaster of any kind or lose a boiler or piece of equipment or fail to answer the call. Thanks to the men I served with they were all proud individuals and always alert to problems. I am Proud of what I did, and I don’t care what anyone else says or does, I served.
I never fully finished High School, but I did get my GED here in Connecticut, then went in the service after working at factories for some years. Sadly all the big factories are gone here in my area and I am older now and retired due to medical conditions. I survived cancer in 2013, have two daughter sin Pittsburgh I love and always will even if I can’t see them or my six grandchildren. I am not rich and can’t afford to send presents, but I always will love all of them. The important things are all I can take care of, myself health wise and my wife too. I stand by her side and take her in for her cancer check-ups, and shots and blood draws as needed, We live in peace each day and do what we consider is most important to both of us.
Life is not about how many material things you have folks, or how much money, it’s about helping and being with those you love most. It’s about dedication, commitments and belonging, and being with those you love most. Do me a favor folks, don’t worry about much else except the most important things for the rest will work out, ok!
The best advice i can give all out there is what I am saying here, live life each day like there is no tomorrow, for one day that will be the truth. Don’t hold back do what ya have to today, for tomorrow may never come for you or those you love, and you will be remembered when you go, for what you did for others not for being selfish. Be realize folks, life is short!
