My son turned 10. I was 1 year into my job that I still have, climbing communication towers. Mostly for cell phone companies. But also state, DNR, and DOT towers.
Wasn't making the best decisions before and was living in my sisters extra room. This is where I turned things around.
When I was young, we had great big family get togethers.
My parents divorced when I was like 5. On my dad's side we did Thanksgiving in the fall. And my grandma's birthday in the spring.
On my mom's side we did a birthday party every few months and put the closest names (3 to 6) on the cake. Christmas and Easter too.
Now that most of the older generation has pass away, we don't get together until someone dies. And that sucks! Want to be happy to see each other, but the circumstances suck. So I'm usually pretty happy to have any reason to see them nowadays.
But if it's only going to stress you out or give you a panic attack, don't go... Not everyone was raised the same or grow the same.
Do you.
I can't really say anything about the spiritualism.
This hit me right in the face 2 years ago when my brother died running an Ironman. Not long after, my best friend died of stage 4 cancer. I'm about to turn 50, and im kinda freaking out....
For a long time the plan was to head up to my friend's house. Cuz he was big into guns and lived basically in the middle of nowhere.
We talked about being defensive but helpful as possible, without sticking our heads out too far.
He passed away a couple years ago and now I'm not sure what the hell we'd do. I've always been outdoorsy, so probably go to one of the woods I'm familiar with and hide out, at least for a bit, to see how things pan out.
So, very defensive, but not very aggressive.
Edit: I'm also pushing 50. I'm still pretty fit, but it better happen soon or we'll probably end up sitting here. Defending the house as long as possible.
