The Washington post is going to run a very bad
story about me tomorrow. I did everything I could to
get out of the limelight and politics and start a new
life. The last 2.5 years from my divorce to the death
of Jon to everyone in town stabbing me relentlessly
have just been unbearably awful. I can't breathe I
hurt so bad. I thought this was my way out. I thought
this new carrear and opportunity I could start fresh
and actually do well. I have worked so hard and
harder than I have at anything in my life. Our masks
and PPE were seized in China for Maryland and
Alabama. We paid Alabama back in full the next day.
We have been able to source Maryland's order in full
and they get their ventilators next week and masks
in 2 weeks. I have been lied to up and down in China
on when we were getting everything and product
that was supposed to have shipped and wasn't. I
feel like such a fool and now the world is going to
see it and they are going to hate me all over again
and everyone is gonna to love it. I don't know what
I'm going to do with my life and for my kids. I'm so
scared for my future. I threw everything away and
took this chance to have it blow up in my face. I have
tried so hard to do the right things. To be a better
person. A better human being and treat people right
and work hard and be a good example. It is going to
be so embarrassing for my children. They could
have had such a good easy life and now this. I have
nothing. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I
have to find a way to financially support them and
give them a life they were on track to have. I don't
know what to do. I was so sure of my life and then
Jon died and everything from that day on has been a
nightmare. Please pray for me

I'm putting the kids to bed or would pick up. Sorry
friend

Ok. Call me when you are done. Let's talk through

this. There is always hope, brother.

I don't know about that anymore.

Our contract with Maryland was to fill it by June 30.
It states in the contract. Henry has completely lied
and let us down. We are filling ALL of Maryland with
a new supplier it in 2 weeks. But they don't care. It's
all lies. We have had over 110 emails between us
about this. It's so gut wrenching

We have a partnership with coach mike singletary
and the attorney generals assoc "was" going to
feature us next week as best practices in their
monthly letter to ALL the ag' sand Fortune 500
companies. We haven't done anything wrong and
went out of the way to make everything right. I don't
know what to do next if I can even do anything
tomorrow

That stuff will come and go. I don't care about your
business, I care about you. Let's chat when you get
a minute. Rachael & I are praying for you.

I'm trying to get some sleep between my kids. I
didn't know where else to go at this point. The only
thing pure and good in my life right now is here. I'm
sorry I didn't and can't call but sleeping between
them now and something finally doesn't hurt. I
promise to call tomorrow

Ok. Call. Any. Time.

Seriously. Any time.

This is going to suck and then you'll be through it.
Just keep moving. You can't fix everything all at
once, just focus on what's most important and do
that the best you can.

You'll get through this better on the other side
after some rebuilding.
