Gerritt Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 He's a keeper. Cherish every living breathing moment. In the wink of an eye he will be all grown up and you will wonder where the time went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
