Ya know, I wouldn’t trade my 70+ years of life’s learning for anything. I’d go back and try to make amends for wrongs I did to others but I wouldn’t give up what I had from my best friends, Animal or people to avoid any of it. God blessed me with great dogs, horses, cats, and people. If I changed anything. I might miss a good memory or two. You just climb on that pony and ride. Tears or laughter, it’s your trail. Someone that hurts your friend deserves no respect or sympathy. I had a couple guys who fought in WWII Tell me “you’ll find sympathy between shit and syphilis in the dictionary “. I believe Donny and Bobby were right. Be safe.
You have figured things out, sir. I wouldn’t trade my life either. Up and down, broke or flush. God, Family, Country.
