Introduction
Well it was a beautiful morning and I will add bug free due to it being a little cold at the start. The disclaimer was read and we began working immediately. Dr. Ralph showed up late, but no one was shocked with that, lol.
I have had a very hard few days due to my best friend growing up who suddenly passed away on Saturday morning. It has been a tough few days and the next few will be harder as you could imagine. There were several moments of overwhelming emotions to where I thought I was going to hand over my Q to Shandy. It true HIM fashion Shandy ran to his car to get his phone and somehow I was able to restore calm in my body. I don’t have the reason as to why I was able to go from a near panic attack to being able to continue leading my Q. If I am going to guess it probably happens to be you all always having each others back no matter what the reason. Once I saw Shandy sprint off to help me out, I just knew you all had my back and it was going to be ok.

Circle of Trust
We ended the workout as we always do in our CoT. I had a very difficult time expressing my feeling without being overwhelmed by emotion. So here is the gist of what I was trying to deliver this morning.
Losing a friend is never easy no matter how young or old you are at the time of loss. I lost one of my people due to addiction. Addiction is an awful beast that rips apart peoples lives and makes them almost unrecognizable to most. My friend fell victim on this past Saturday to a battle he had been fighting for quite some time. Along the way he lost a lot of different things ranging from life long friends to his marriage. I tried to help several different times with interventions, trips to rehabilitation centers, weekly check ups in hope that he would turn it around. Well he didn’t turn it around, I was unsuccessful in my attempts and here we are dealing with this mess as I write. I miss you already brother, rest easy and may God show you grace.
Please pray for his children and his parents.

ASK for help if you need it. Do not take on all of your issues alone. Don’t be to proud to say I need help.
This is a great group HIM’s in F3 Naperville that will always have your 6. Without question one of you that is reading this could use help, just ask because we will help.
