brother.

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

brother.

Post by gringo »

i bet you guys would like my brother...lifer in the air farceE-7 or 8? retired...now, traveling emergency management type, for several notable corporations...

so i get a nasty message on facebook about him having a heartattack...second one...

now my family treats me much like mr rapp...nasty, never good enough, no matter how i try...even though i have the best education, an most skills, among the crew...

i have traveled to alabama, chicago... called, wrote, phoned...and not one response from any of the family...{130 cousins, around ten aunts and uncles...5 nephews an niece, pluss their spawn...}

not one attempt to contact me since i went in the army in 1969.

now i get the nasty pm..." if you care, your brother just had a heart attack!"

how much can one person care? homeless, broke, i put out the effort to travel to places i am unwelcome...called phones that are never answered, posted to emails, facebook...ect...

now i feel like crawling under one of these hotrocks around here and dying...

really...wtf.over.

8) Donald I truly am Sorry for your troubles, but how are they my Fault? ::shrug:: Is it because I don't agree with your Political Views? If that's the case, I will no longer respond to your Posts!

Prayers sent Gringo.
I've never been in a place like your's and I don't envy you. I love my brothers and I wouldn't be too pleased if someone kept me from seeing them in their time of need.
Prayers for things to get better for you are sent. It's good to see that you know the Lord can get you both through this.

I may not ever agree with you on a single political view, but your an alright guy.
