The greatest gift to Kelly and I from JA.

eric, you an I have only talked once via chat after a TAR match, you offered to help me with whatever advice you had about the problem I was having.

You may be misunderstood by some, but I for one know you are a man with a heart bigger than his chest.

Congrats to you and Kelly, and I hope to meet you in person and talk more some day soon.

As if JA wasn't high on the list already, he just went up a few spots.
 
What a beautiful Mother's Day post, Eric. So ecstatic for you and Kelly! Johnny and Melanie are good people, just like you and Kelly. It's so wonderful to hear about great friendships. Thank you for sharing something so personal with us. It's obvious we are all touched by your posts about the new news and your family.
 
Congrates!

You know sometimes the posts and threads on here make your day and this one of them....Champions together they are! congrates to all of you. Jeff
 
There is really nothing on this Earth that can change a person like children... You just don't realize it until you're there. Enjoy.

Congrats to you and kelly on a very special honor. Glad your uncle is doing good also. And hopefully your back is well so i can get your "A" game....on second thought to keep from me getting steamrolled i probably should hope for your c or d game :o. Take care and I'll talk to you on monday.

bump, sorry, I wont bump it

Believe me having no family is a lonely life and no matter what toys you have, or how good you are at something pool, darts, basketball-none of that makes up for being alone. neither does peoples sympathy, infact their sympathey while it is well meant atually makes things harder. There just is no substitute for family, its probably more important to me because I dont have much than people who have alot. Same goes with other things, a gallon of water in the desert is alot of water in the rain forest its meaningless.


So in a effort to fill that void in my life I have compensated in other ways, some drink, others work. I chose to work.


for what ever reason im being very philosophical right now, my mind id very open, I'll spare those of you who read this far. Perhaps now someone may understand me better, not that thats important-it really isnt at all. No one has to understand me nor do I have to understand others, but it does make life a bit more intersting.

best

Eric,

I'm glad you bumped this up so when I came back to the forum I could read it. Congratulations on your new role in Leeanne's life. You will be a great mentor and role model for the important things in life, like seeing deep into other's hearts.

I too, really have no family, other than the family I adopted as an adult. By the time I was 10 I had 8 different sets of parents. And my first husband's family was alienated from their families and so my kids don't have extended families either and they really miss that.

I understand how important it is to have that connection. No grandkids on the horizon for me, so I have started sponsoring a baby in SE Asia, through the adoption agency I was adopted through. The money goes toward feeding, shelter and educating her, when she gets older.

Mikaley, a 14 year old whose parents were both meth heads, was hooked up with me through a Christian organization to mentor and have someone to talk things through. I am thoroughly enjoying our relationship and know that somewhere in this tough teenager, there is a soft little girl who needed a chance.

In small ways, I am reaching out to other kids, so I know what an impact you can have on a child's life. Rough times make for an education you can't get out of books.

Blessings to you, Kelly, and the Archer family.

Thank you for the kind words, Yesterday was the first day I saw JA since he asked me, it was amazing how much closer we felt towards each other-it wasnt mentioned, its not my imagination.

We were both in great moods and had a busy day, he had meetings most of the day. Great things will happen from this. Ironic thing is this isnt about pool, but pool will benefit from this in many ways down the road. How? we'll when 2 people have the level of trust we do and go back as many years. My experience as a biz man and his contacts in the pool world were going to have the combination of trust, $$$ and brains working towards a common goal. It will be slow comming but the future of pool has a chance, I'm not going to be in the lime light at all, just back end support when I can and its necessary.
