Charles, I know you mean when it comes taking care of your family. Even though I am single, I am glad I am closer to family than ever. When I moved to Newport News, I missed my family dearly. Someone my age is not supposed to be homesick but I was deeply and it affected everything about me. Before I moved in with my sister and her family in Indy, I lived with my folks back on the farm. It was so fun and heartwarming, it made me realize how much more family is to me than any job. There were times when I was so miserable that it made me breakdown and cry because I didn’t have a job. However, my parents and my sisters was always there for me, no matter the circumstance. These are desperate times for everyone and just being closer has meant the world to me. So supporting your family might come in a different way, if you know what I mean.

However, keep your head up and don’t fret while you are looking for next career move. You are too damn talented. If I had my own publishing company, I would definitely hire you no matter the circumstance.

Take care Charles and good luck

Charles, the way you are handling this is pure class.

Something you wrote in this update really hit home. With all that is going on in the newspaper business and the economy in general, my biggest fear is taking care of my family. You are living that fear right now.

I’ve never met you, but your work and the way you go about it has made me better at what I do.

If I’m put in the postion you are in now, I can only hope I handle it with as much class.
