Well, turns out June is "PTSD awareness" month, as well as "Men's Mental Health" awareness month. P.s. ( Why does everything need a month?, It's also probably Alaskan snow crab appreciation month or something. - Rant over)

But I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with one of my day 1's Mutt. Mutt has always stood out to me as somebody who has a really big heart and and is willing to give the shirt off of his back for his peoples.
Mutt opened up about some of the rougher parts of his life growing up. Dealing with watching his family fall apart after the sudden loss of his younger sister took a toll on him.
I know the feeling of losing people close to me all too well. There's nothing you can say to somebody in those moments to take the pain away. But I am truly grateful I had a friend like Mutt. To be by my side while, I was suffering from my losses.
Dang, we are really good at sad drinking together haha.

Real recognizes real though, thanks for always picking up the phone when I needed you, and always saying yes when I asked for you to just come over and be around my sad ass. You're a big reason why I survived through some of the shit that was destroying me, you we're just there.

We have shared so many memories together over the last 7-8 years or so that I consider Mutt a constant bright spot in my life. It's been beautiful to watch the growth of my boy over the past year. Rock-bottom to the penthouse suites baby!

I know that it takes a lot to open up to someone about our personal lives. But I also understand the importance as to how much it helps to do that.

So thank you Mutt, for putting yourself out there in the name of Mental Health awareness.
