We all need one of those. A Go to Guy who is always there for you no matter what. Kinda like Rahm Emmanual is to Obama. He just kinda swoops in, tells it like it is, fixes things up quickly and then goes away until you need them again. I have a great Go to Guy. We don’t chat often and we don’t even hang out that much either. But we have always kept in touch and he has reached out to me during the Great Sadness. We got a chance to hang this weekend. He knew his job was to cheer me up. He doesn’t talk a lot of bs and he lays it all out there with no sunshine being pumped up anyone’s a*s. He’s good like that. No matter how sad and small I may be, he does not allow pity. And now is about the time where you may be thinking we are ‘friends with benefits’. Hell no! It’s not like that if you must ask. (as if I’m ready for any of that stuff….) True friends, and that’s it. I’m lucky it’s like that and I appreciate his friendship. He asked some tough questions of me. Making me really think about the last couple of months and how and why things happen. He had no answers but he did have the encouragement and kindness I need. My Go to Guy, he knows who he is, thanx! You gotta get one for yourself.
