much like my story

36 years of concrete completed and
i have 4 years until retirement from the union hall

but,
the fighting of pain here,
there and everywhere may have me abruptly decide to retire, prior to the completion of those 4 years

just like Luck,
the passion is just about gone because of the everyday fight with pain

i feel for the young man

i know exactly where he is coming from

but in the end,
he made the LITERAL choice of walking away while he can still, "walk away"

a decision that i, myself,
fight with everyday

good luck
andrew!
