I have a new baby and she’s my joy in life. I’m away for a few days and I miss her terribly.

I have no advice here. Just saying that I’m thinking about you. And I hope you find peace through this very challenging time.

Sorry you had to go through this brother. I don’t know how I’ll deal with it once on the other side.

I can’t really quite work because it’s not a job. I own an investment company and I went all in on the greatest project of my life. If I walk away, I lose everything. I need to finish. I have no choice.

I love my pup and I want to give him a great life

OP I have no advice to give beyond what’s already been mentioned. I just wish you and your dog the best as you contemplate your futures. Sending you healing prayers, and positive energy to move forward!

Roger on that. I walked away from a business in 2003. It was a good decision. Until it turned out to be a bad decision.

What world do I live in? 5am, still dark, can't wait for 6:15am, a gravel trail, my gentle jogging footsteps and bird calls the only sounds.
