Hey

been a while.

Had a rough year....lost family members...devastated.

anyway...I wanted to share this with you folks and encourage you to find a something...anything and do it.

All person to person stuff aside...these are things that matter. Find that thing that matters...and do that.

I started to live my life the same way after my father died from a very rare brain cancer ( he was one of 6 in the world to have had it). From the day we found out to the day he died it was 1 year 5 months. He was 56. My grandfather (mothers dad) died the day we had my dads wake. Six months later my mother couldn't take it and killed herself. A month later my grandmother ( dads mom) died from a heartattack......she couldn't handle the stress of everything. My fiance at the time left me...she couldn't handle the stress (we were together for 8 years) and my house flooded and destroyed alot of my stuff. This all happened in a 10 month period. Talk about turning your life upside down.... I was 25 at the time.

I was a wreck. A year later I ran off to Cali for a month to go find myself. I wandered around alone just reflecting and figuring out where to go from there. I kind of just dropped off the face of the earth for a bit there.

It took a good 2 years before I could really function properly again. 3 years until my head was clear and my thoughts were straight. I admit I'm still a little messed up from the whole thing and I think I always will be. The worst days are when I want to run to my parents and tell them something or show them something and I can't because they aren't here. They won't get to see alot of things in my life. They never met the woman I will eventually marry, they haven't seen my first house, my cars I've built, music I play..etc. Its one thing that I think I won't ever be able to get over. And...the older I get the MORE I look like my father.

I feel it has made me a stronger person in many ways. I think of life differently now and I have more respect for it. On the other hand I don't take it so seriously and don't let stress bring me down. I am also more caring of others and not afraid to tell anyone that I love them. I take more risks because I never know when my number will be up. I'm just trying to make the most of my time here for myself and others. I'm 30 now and hopefully I have alot more life left. Make the most of yours.

I feel you man.

The fact that you have been able to maintain and stand is a testament to your strength and character.

You've overcome much and what we're doin is for you as a survivor as much as anyone else.

IMO you're a bada_s for real.

I'm afraid it's hard for the dead people too. I've died (and come back)a couple times recently and had an episode where I ceased to exist as a being, and it is not a pleasant experience. I'm afraid I fought it the whole time, not very accepting of death

Sorry to hear that bro, it's good to see you around here again, I always loved your movies. Unfortunately I've only got dial up at home and would have to sneak them in at work. Take care!

Are you being serious, or making light of other people's adversities? Because this came across as drug-induced nonsense from my end... :?:

If there are any survivors or breast cancer stories PM me and I'll share them on the site as stories of hope.

I felt the same way...I have no clue what he was trying to say and thought he was making fun of us.

Serious as a heart-attack. I appreciate your critiques none-the-less.
