To: Kellen From: Papa ... Merry Christmas

-

Kellen,

I just want to take the opportunity to tell you how much Papa loves you. You are the shining light in my world. Everyday you learn so much, you inspire me so greatly, and amaze me so often. The thought of you makes me smile, and the sight of you makes me glow. You are my little buddy. You are my unwavering motivation. You are my greatest accomplishment. Through you I’ve learned so much about myself, what’s important, and what is not so important. I know life is not as easy as we had hoped, but as long as we are together, nothing could bring us down.

From the day I met you, I knew you were perfect. As you grow and experience, I hope that I can continue to be a positive influence on your life. As long as I am breathing I will do everything in my power to help you not make the same mistakes that I have made in my life, and push you to become a greater man than I could ever dream of for myself. Through your failures you will learn to press on. Through your heartache you will learn what real love is. And through your life, you will learn what it truly means to be successful.

Trust me son, success is not counted in gold pieces, pieces of property, or the clothes you dress yourself in. True success is doing what you love, surrounded by the ones you love, and enjoying every minute of it. My goal in this life will be to see you find success. I will do this through strength in discipline, gentleness of love, and steadfastness in standing by your side in times of need.
You are my world, my life, my son

Merry Christmas Kellen… your papa loves you so very much

Everyone is feeling the effects of limited items on grocery store shelves, delays in getting electronic goods to market, new car shortages, hard-to-find parts for repairs, and a low supply of raw material that are slowing building projects. It's been two years of uncertainty and confusion in politics, a stop-start and stall economy, consumer confidence lulls, and then there is the understaffed job market brought on by the Great Resignation. The Great Resignation and the Great Reassessment, has hit the world of foodservice workers, customer service industries, and the grand cubical world, like a ton of bricks. Each sector is having staffing shortages but there is an even greater resentment growing from gear shifters. The feeling of abandonment by the general public has left truckers on the roadside to rot and rust. The trucking industry is at a tipping point… an...
