Gerritt Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) After a ton of turmoil and a boatload of bad choices... I have had enough living a life of regrets... During my downfall I pissed a lot of folks off... Including some of my friends here. I won't get into details... But some have forgiven me.. Some have not. For that I am sorry. But given the fact I was at my bottom there was no where to go but up! I got some help, the professional kind.... And dealt with some the demons that have been haunting me. Anyways, I remarried last June, to a great woman that was willing to take the time and over look my flaws that were caused by circumstance and the cards dealt to me. Today I would like to introduce you to Crawford. Our son and little brother to Liam and the late Terrance. There could not be a man happier on the planet right now as I am. From dangerous thoughts less then three years ago, to therapy, to family, marriage and now this! I really think someone up there is looking out for me. I have a lot to be thankful for. Welcome, Crawford Philip Arno Aalbers to the OFC Family... Mom and baby are doing just fine. G. Edited July 3, 2014 by Gerritt
