My mom traces my problems problems back to a talent show where I was singing and asked the choir to back me up. However, my younger bullying brother Derek replaced the choir with his football buddies and they all started singing “NIH" has a man-gina” to which the entire auditorium joined in, including even my parents. And thus I was scared for life. Derek went on to win that talent show by lip-synching “Ice Ice Baby.”

TBH, I guess I was in shock the first few days/weeks. Looking back it all just seems like a black bur, defined by a few particular memories.
Someone said in this thread that no parents should have to bury their kids and all I can say to that is "This. Truly"
Damn, a lot of us in this thread have been through some shite. Reading some of these posts put mine in perspective alot. I don't know how I would handle all the broken bones, or seeing someone try and kill one of my parents, or losing a brother. There are a lot of situations here that I don't know how I would be able to deal.

My father was killed 7 years ago, it was my first year at State a week before spring break. We had so many plans, he was going to surprise me by buying a boat(no we weren't rich by any means, but he had cashed out alot of his stock options,etc.) and we were gonna spend that spring break going fishing. This was the worst time of my life.
For perspective, this was the first time in my life I could really even relate to my dad on any sort of level. He was an alcoholic all my life and growing up I vowed I would never be like him. Junior college changed that,
Now when I drink 40 creek whiskey I think about my Dad with warm feelings. It's amazing the little details you will miss about someone. I could go on but I'm sure ya'll are all tl:dr anyways. There's alot more to tell but it's just depressing.
Why do ya'll start these depressing threads on a rainy day in the afternoon?

Two things. (1) When my granny died in 85 and (2) The day I left my ex-wife. I was never the same after she passed. It was like a part of me died along with her. My family knows how close we were cause they constantly tell me I'm Ms. Olivia son. And when I was married my ex had a son that I pretty much raised as my own, and she left me and I had promised the lil shorty that I would never leave him and that I would always be there..... So shout out to you Chris wherever you are in Louisiana.

No problem ... I do find this thread to be good for some people that would not normally be able to talk about these things to someone face to face & I just wanted to remind each of us that we have all probably gone through some truly terrible time, some much worse than others, but in the end we can find solace and comfort in those that share similar burdens. As well as I wanted to remind those of us that there is way to make it through these rough times and that there were people and even more importantly the man upstairs that will help us find our way.

How do you know that. You shouldn't tell someone that they will see their dead loved ones again unless you know for sure. Seems kind of mean, imo.

If you had read my first post you would have noticed I prefaced it with ... SOME MIGHT DISAGRE WITH ME ...
But riddle me this, what is so wrong in giving hope. Hope is one of the best most precious gifts you can give another person and also let's say your right and it was false hope and there is actually nothing does it really matter that in the end it was truly false hope, because they actually got to live with that hope to get them through each day. So if your right in the end it won't matter what you believe because we all will be ... NOTHING. For me I'll choose my belief and faith over that any day even if you believe it is a lie or if you end up being right.
But this is neither here nor there and what does it matter to you really, am I really hurting you or anyone. You have what we like to call the Freedom of choice and in this case that's to choose or not to choose to believe. That's on you and not me, I have said my piece about but I will never force it down ones throat. But does that mean I have to be silent about how I believe ... that doesn't seem fair to me either.
Now if anyone is truly offended by what I said I am sorry and know I only meant it as condolences and to offer help through troubling times.

Well it took a lot longer for this post to show up than I thought

Wow, this thread has really shown me how forturnate I have been in my life. My darkest hour pales in comparison to most of you guys. To all that mentioned losing someone close to them, I can't relate, but I can't imagine how much pain you all must have been going through. And I never saw anyone respond to TIGERBLOOD. Man that must've been awful. Did you get a replacement foot?

Watching my grandfather die and knowing I couldn't do anything to help.
He had biggest influence on my life as he raised me.
