But I can't afford to leave the health insurance is pretty good with AMF. I may take an outstation and leave the family again for six months to make more money. My wife has been the backbone in the family in handling everything. I really don't know why she hasn't left me. Its tough, what makes it easy is if I can bid reserve than I have more home time with the family, but Im not logging time. Either way Im pretty down right now and just dealing with it. If it wasn't for my wife I don't know were I would be. |
Stick with you gut my freind, There is going to be a point in your like when you look back and you say, wow, I can't believe I made here from that. In my oppinion, what does not kill you only makes you stonger and more adapted to situations, especially if you have GOD in your corner!
God Bless!

It made it worth it when I spotted them from the escalator and she couldn't contain him enough. She finally let him go when I was near the bottom and he screamed running through people yelling "daddy"...it made me melt. He about tackled me while holding my face with his hands.
It sounds like you've got a great supporting wife (she must be if you've chosen aviation) and that's a huge key in all of this. Take the time to learn your bidding system and that will also help out a ton.
I wish you the best of luck in all of this... |
That is a realy heart warming story
, makes me think about my future kids
