I'll always help a vet regardless haven't heard from him in a year [View all]

Ok accidentally hit delete on first post vets anyway I didn’t have my glasses on. So last night around 0100 my phone was vibrating I keep ringer off but am a lite sleeper. Here it was a friend a former vet who found he was in tight spot to drunk to drive he couldn’t get a cab and like me had no clue what lyft or Uber in how to contact. My friend and I were both graduates of u benn fort benning a joke on a nod to higher education. And we’re both teamsters union proud although we feel Hoffa jr is piece shit as president of our union.

I pick up phone I phone hey I hear you around can you come get me I am at this bar. I said I’ll be there in half hour mister I feel bad for my friend he is a widower at 53 a year older than me. His wife passed last year he is very lonely he as I picked him up had 12 pack you want beer man. No I am eating naltrexone it works let’s just stop get some breakfast bro I’ll buy. He is so lost without his wife I feel for him I just gave him ride in to get his car this morning. I told him since you booked off work with hangover you can come for turkey chili tonight I’m gonna try and make corn bread you don’t have to be alone friend.
