Not yet. I don't know if I'll need one. And there are multiple reasons.

I lost a friend, my BIL's close friend, to drug addiction. Great guy, funny, golfer, father of a new born...OD'd on his couch in his home. I spoke at his funeral.

He was an assistant pro at the Golf Club of Georgia. I have a poker chip/ball marker that has all the yardage I got from the Club the last day I saw him alive. I carry it around with me daily now. I find myself reaching for it and I remember where I have been and where I need to go. Its like a piece of his spirit watching over me. I am not overly religious, but I am spiritual and I believe in fate.

But...if you are willing to be there for me (not sure that is why you are asking), I humbly accept.
