howlin's blog post - Troubadour

As many of you know and for those who dont my dear friend TuxedoJunction is gone from the site,I myself as Im sure many others tried our best to convince him otherwise but during a phone conversation he gave me his personal reasons and beliefs for doing this and after he told me of these things all I could say was I'll hit the delete button for you,Tux I know youll never see this but I still feel the need to say two words to you my friend 'Thank You'.For the night you spent ours talking me out of doing something really stupid that at the time would have changed my life forever,for telling me how proud you were of me and how strong you saw me when all I really had on my mind was that one more drink that I didnt take,that on my darkest days you found the words to reel me back in and talk me off the edge just as I was about to leap,Ive always taken pride in the fact that I looked at myself as a fighter but you sir are a fighter in every sense of the word,I fought for what was best for me but you fight for whats best for the people you love and take care of your own battles when you have the time..While TuxedoJunction may not exist to NN anymore its staying on my phone so that when it rings and the ID shows up 'Tux' and I know the first words Im about to hear is 'Whats up ya ol hillbilly' makes me smile just to type it well anyway as I said you wont hear this song but many times when somebody would ask if anybody wanted a tribute youd often reply 'no just a small statue in the town square is good' lol this is my small statue to you my friend..never change ya ol Troubadour
