Cut Loose

A few years ago my sponsor stopped sponsoring guys for personal reasons. He gave me a month’s notice that he was going to do this, and told me how sorry he was. We had become friends over the years and it was his intention that we remain friends even after I had found a new sponsor. As far as I could see at the time, not much needed to change in my life. We spoke all the time, and we planned to continue that. He knew me inside and out and that wasn’t going to change. It was just that there were going to be certain things that, in a sponsorship capacity, he wasn’t going to be able to do for me anymore.
