When I was in high school, my favorite teacher told me that my values, opinions and goals would be changing - and changing quickly. She said the key shift points happened when you hit 16, 18, 21 - and then again in your late 20's. I'm turning 48 in a few weeks and looking back, she was right. Brandon, we're friends, neighbors and well, it's a small town and our families have know each other for decades, so I think I know you and where you're coming from. You're smart, mature and the kind of guy I would want for my daughters when they get older (yeah, you'd be a hell of a son-in-law!). Like we talked last night - thanks for stoppin by, the main things are - give her time, be a gentleman to her no matter what - it will pay in the long run , do NOT blame yourself - and lastly - do NOT start thinking the shoulda-coulda's , my dad use to talk all the time bout what he should have or could have done. Don't do that, hindsight is always 20-20. What's happened in the past - let it rest, learn from it and look forward. The happiest, most successful people are the ones that look ahead and have a plan. Right now, focus on having some fun before school starts back, hang out with your friends, ride that ATV, and you know my door is always open and you're always welcome in my home. Take care and have a good time at the beach.
