Unlikely Hero

Just a shout out here to those of you who have added this story to your libraries... I promise you i havent forgotten about yall or this story. Life has been "kicking me while Im down" alot for a good long while now,... I just cant seem to get caught up, much less ahead. Between working a job where we are extremely short staffed and unable to get any extra time off, doubling the size of my house by adding on and remodeling the old half -doing all the work myself, no contractors/laborers helping me other than my wife and my kids - and then trying to be there for my daughters ballgames on top of being called upon other family once in a while to fix/help with things, Im at my wits end and the candle Ive been burning at both ends is about used up. The random bouts of depression on top of the stress due to my profession doesnt help matters either. Medication helps when you have nobody to talk to about it.

I feel bad that I havent posted a new chapter in a VERY long time, the next chapter has been sitting unfinished on my pc waiting though. Those of you who still read my work and track ot, I appreciate the hell out of you. The random notifications saying someone has liked or added my story is like a double-edged sword... it makes me feel good inside that someone actually like my story, but then I feel like garbage because I havent posted anythong new.

I am not gonna sit here and say "I promise I will post something soon, guys!" because honestly, I have no clue when I will be able to. I can say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to working on my house... I am down to one bedroom and a hallway that has to be redone and a few doors to cut, (have my wife) paint and then hang. After that its only some siding and an eave to replace, then i can grade the yard around the addition and get my final inspection and I can call it done. It sounds like alot, but after building an additon with 800sq ft from the foundation to the tin roof and redoing almost all of the floors, walls and ceilings in the old part, I see myself being in the home stretch.

I havent forgot about yall or my story, and I dont want to make promises I cant keep, but I can promise that I will get back to Unlikely Hero as soon as I can, I just ask that yall dont give up on me like so many others have and please, be patient... Im doing all I can with what I got, and I aint got much at all. But hey, Im gonna keep on keeping on, thats all any of us can do, right?

Much love and appreciation to all of you out there and thanks for the support.
