Promises, Promises

Summary

For my husband, Brian, and myself, 2014 has felt a bit like being repeatedly kicked in the shins. On January seventh, after ten years at his job, Brian was rather unceremoniously “let go.” Watching a husband who had invested, and sacrificed so much of himself for a company who so easily dismissed him was painful and infuriating. Accompanying this termination were the usual suspects: stress and worry, mostly regarding finances. How long could we sustain without Brian’s income? Where would we find health insurance? Where would he begin looking for a new job? What might he even enjoy doing?
