I went all out for a Halloween party and I invited a ton of people like a month in advance. No one showed. That was like 15 years ago and it still hurts.

Iā€™m so sorry. You tried at least, I am to much of a coward. You are amazing.

Im sorry, my friend. My 4th was rough, too. My wife decided to divorce me. Well, I don't know when she decided but she told me on July 4th. It broke my heart, too. But life goes on for us both.

Good luck to you! I hope that your next 4th of July party is one of legend!
