And then it hit me




Getting laid off is not cool. Having it happen before Christmas is even worse. If your wife is also pregnant during that time, it's all bad. Those are the issues currently on my plate and I've been dealing with them quite well. I never imagined how I would feel if something like this were to happen, but it did, and things weren't that bad.

Then I spoke to my sister. She told me not to buy anyone anything for Christmas. I have been getting gifts for my family since I was a child. Even though my parents financed the gifts that I got them, I still participated.

When my sister said not to buy her anything, it really hit me. I failed to provide this Christmas. I can only imagine the devastation my unborn would feel if I couldn't provide on the biggest Holiday of the year. I will never let this happen again, I promise that. I will not allow myself to be in such a vulnerable state ever again. A setback is a setup for a comeback and mine will be greater than anything Elway ever did. I kid you not!!!!
