I would like to hello and thanks to the following friends: Goobermom, Jakeisgreat, Jeannieco, Bella'Mom, GatorRay, Anatess, Sarah, BruceP, Savemejeebus and all any friends I may have missed.
I am so sorry for neglecting staying in contact with everyone here on the EBN for many months. A lot of events have happend here on my homefront since the passing of Winston capsized my life last year in July. Winston was a pillar in my life that brought incredibly fun, loving memories. The tansition that I went through was needless to say, tough. Last year, 2011 was one of the most challenging years in my life since at the beginning of the year, a friend of mine lost his life in an accident on New Year's Eve, Winston passing away in July on the day of my dad's birthday and me being hit by a drunk driver this last October.
With all of the bad that took place, I knew that at some point good is going to start happening. Well, because of friends like Cindy "Goobersmom," she has kept in contact with me and said last year that she is going to breed a couple of her cherished bullies and that when puppys are born, she is going to make sure I get one of her pups. Last December, Elliott was born along with a Brother and Sister. Elliott will be coming home to me when I drive from Jacksonville, Florida to Missouri to meet Cindy and baby Elliott in person for the first time. I am so excited as this event is materializing and the reality is starting to settle in!
Spiritual life, family and friends are definitely key when experiencing great trials and tribulations in life. Again, I am so thankful of everyone here on the EBN.
Your friend,
Mike Sutherland
