bad things happen in three's is not a lie......

ok, the other day i come home from work and have a few drinks. about 9pm i get a call from my nephew saying that my dad nad mt grandpa are both on their death beds. i also hear that my lil nephew is in the hospital again.

1. my lil nephew is about 2 years old. he is sick. needs tons of machines to be ok daily and lots of oxygen treatments. tough lil bugger he is. but hes family, a baby, and i can still love him. the family even built a webpage for him. http://www.jeremylaw.com/

2. my grandpa i didnt really know all too well. i lost touch with him when i was about 10 or so. thanks to my father. he led a long life full of experiences.
16 grandchildren and 40 great grandchildren. i cant even remeber exactly how many kids in all he had.

3. my father. i really dont have many nice things to say about him. the only 1 good thing i can say about him is that he took the time to explain cars to me. basic repair and performance repair. hes also a massive alcoholic. im talking like 1.5 gallons of really cheap vodka daily. and he wonders why his liver is failing.

i tell my self daily life is short, but just how short?


sorry to ramble, but i was alone and needed to get it out. figured lots of people are here and some would listen and/or understand.

Sometimes it seems we all go through some kind of "test" like this. Talking does help and keep in mind this too shall pass. Keep your chin up man!

I hope your nephew makes a good recovery. Your dad and grandpa, I hope they make it too, but one's old and the other made some poor decissions in life. I don't wish either of them any harm and don't want to sound bad. I just hate it when kids are sick or fighting for their life before they've had a chance to live. Stay strong through this ordeal. I hope I didn't sound like a dumbass. I don't really know what to say in times like this. I will say a prayer for them all though...................lol

im trying to keep my chin up. stress gets the best of ya at times. but thanks
jdub and suprahero. +1 is coming your way.

and i forgot to post in the first one that my grandpa did pass away sunday night. he went while he was sleeping. hopefully he didnt feel much pain.

Damn. Well I hope that your nephew gets better. Thats unfortunate that little kids sometimes get so sick that they cant be little kids and do little kids things... Things like these happen. It's unavoidable. All you can really do is just keep your head up and weather the "storm". Good luck man.

i thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. i didnt want to seem like a whiny lil punk but it is better to get it out and relax a bit. stress is a mofo.

but on a lighter note, i did just find out that my nephew jermey has been released from the hospital!! at least one thing got better. but my father is still getting worse. part of me says he gets whats coming to him and the other side feels a little sympathy.

kinda a rough few days and im just not thinking right i guess.

 

[RHDMK3]

Thats good that he is out. Hopefully he'll get better. You should try to make ammends with your old man before he passes on. If nothing happens then it all stays the status quo but if he dies and you never did you are going to always wonder, what if...?

 

[boost fiend]

rhd: i see your point. my fiancee has been telling me that daily lately.
just with the things hes done and way he has treated me over the last 28 years, its kinda hard to forget. its a really long story.

 

[RHDMK3]

Well if anything you could tell him exactly how ya feel about him. At least get some sort of closure from it.

 

[boost fiend]

and thats how ive been thinking about it latley.

goodluck and best wishes to your family.

I have to add in my support to make ammends with your dad. He may have made a lot of mistakes, but after watching a few people near the end, I have become convinced that one of the greatest gifts you can give is peace of mind before death. It says a lot about a person who can give that gift to somebody who did them wrong, and I'll bet it would make you feel better, too.

 

[Blksupra1jzed]

I would agree with making amends if possible. Stress is hard though bro, I have a whole different side of stress going on here, I may just make a thread about it. Anyways, just try to keep yourself occupied with things you enjoy. It helps.

sorry to hear about your family :-/, i know it's not fun going through times like these... i had 4 family members pass last year.... i'm sure your dad would enjoy some company though, i sure as hell would if i were stuck in a hospital... i'm not really in a position to say much though, because i havn't the slightest idea what went on, but you know what you need to do

Very well said..................:bowdown:
I'd be a hypocrit if I told you to go talk to your day and forgive him for being a jerk most of your life, cause I haven't talked with my dad in about ten years. I haven't seen him in that amount of time. I think if given the chance, and he was on his death bed, I would tell him that I love him and forgive him just to maybe give him some piece of mind. I don't think I would mean it but I would be willing to be the bigger man. The only thing is once he's gone, you won't have this option, so think about it really hard and you'll come up with the right decission, whatever it might be.................lol

It's nice to have a place to go and post problems, riddles, and questions, and get really good answers without having to worry about what people will think about you. I love this place and find new reasons to like it more everytime I log on.

 

[boost fiend]

yeah, i may not like the man but i think i may just give him th words he "needs" to hear. ya never know, i might actually feel a lil better about it in the long run.

again, thank you for all your kind words and letting me vent without elling me im wrong.

randpa' funeral is today in just a ouple of hours. i have a feeling ths is going to be intersting. family functions usally are in my "tribe".

 

[SupraMario]

Man bro, laughter cant solve this one, hang in there. I'm not the religious type but I'm sure the big guy in the sky is watching down on ya.

 

[DreamerTheresa]

Websites with music FTL!!!


Hope everyone starts getting better.

 

[boost fiend]

well, grandpa's funeral went well. no big mishaps.

and yeah, websites with music do kinda suck, but his big sister made it and runs it.
