I recall playing this song with you: Alice In Chains - Rooster

My name is TJ Butler, who has spent the last decade of his life working with others clinically who were fighting the disease of addiction.
I was 100% dedicated to this calling all the way up until I found myself standing nose to nose with stage four lung and brain cancer. I attempted to work for the better part of this last year, only to find that I would would have to put all my strength and energy into fighting for my life, yet again. I once thought addiction was the strongest demon I would ever have to fight. Cancer has proven that to not be true.
So....I have recently retired, and lean on my disability benefits to contribute to the financial support needed in the household.
I haven't been alone in this fight, by any means. I have many, and I mean MANY people who support me in prayer and various other ways, but there are also others who have been able to assist me in deeper ways. I have recently married my best friend who has also been my closest care taker, and who I love with all of my soul.
God is good, people. He sent me a guardian angel. I can recognize that and will be forever grateful for it. I will live out my days fighting, whether it be a day, week, month, year or decades. Who knows, right? But more importantly; I will live them out in peace and happiness.
There is no greater gift than to awake in the morning seeing that I have been granted another day of life, but even more another day of happiness.
*Love and Happiness to All*

I decided to relive the days gone by in my new blog.

Remember, what I say is IMO always. If I say that something sucks, it actually means "I think it sucks" OK?

Except the big about dorjan being jelly, that's just spidey's ego.
