First and foremost I am a man of my word and I keep my promises. I am a cross country trucker. I have 4 kids, soon to be 5 grandkids and one of the most spoiled sheltie dogs in the world. I smoke, I drink socially or when I do yard work in the heat of the summer I will have a beer or two. I have a warped and strange sense of humor, yet I am caring and tender. Go figure hahaha. And I am a hopeless romantic. I' can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers. I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask. I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only talk to you and wait for you. I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, but I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, but I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend...
