This particular toon seems to sum up my life right about now.
I run my own department at work, and have a very good staff under me right now. However, Due to health reasons, All that is about to change.
I have to train my replacement, and go on modified work detail. Once I
Get my insurance card taken care of, I will be going out on disability.
It kind of feels like I am floating along, not quite sure where I am going to land. Should I go back to school? Or try to find work that suits my disability?
I’m not doing what I’d really LOVE to be doing, but I love what I’m doing, which is raising our five sons and seeing them enter “honorable manhood”, to quote Sullivan Ballou. Our youngest turned 16 just a couple days ago.
Squid/Leo… When I write Squid Row, I often have no idea how my readers will interact with the storyline or what a particular character is “saying” to the reader. Everyone brings their own experience… their own story to the comic. Thank you both, for sharing.
I also want to extend hugs you both. Living with a disability or cancer is a serious…. well, it’s serious. I watched my father, a proud Marine, suffer cancer. He stood up to it like a Marine. I watched him go through stages of “not being able to do that anymore”… and the cancer won out in the end.
Leo… My heart goes out to you…. and Randie’s and Ryan’s… and Enid…. and the rest of the gang. Hugs.
Squidman… This story is mirroring your own life for certain. I would say that you are at a perfect cross roads to find what it is you want to do… and move towards it. You’ve been given an opportunity. Look at it as such and you will find the right path.
Pete… I think you have balanced your life according to your priorities. You have made your priority your children. I often see parents who have put themselves (and/or their habits) as priority above their children… I feel sorry for these kids. When your kids have moved on to their own lives… perhaps then you can do what you REALLY love. Smiles.

Here’s wishing you all the best “Squid Man”
I’m dying from Cancer (Multiple Myeloma) and the worst part isn’t the dying (EVERYBODY Dies, the difference is just I know HOW I’m gonna go.)
The worst part is all the stuff I USED to be able to do, that I CAN’T anymore. It’s so blasted frustrating!
Here’s hoping that adapting to you new version of REALITY is a smoother experience than I’ve had. All the best!

I have dreams and plans, but no regrets.
