like what i said over in the "Nostradamus' thread in candyland

no matter what you do, when its time to die, you are gonna die and there isnt anything you, me, or anyone else can do about it, so have fun, live life like you want, be happy that you are here and all the people that are still around too.........we can say all the coulda, woulda, shoulda's we can til we are blue in the face but hind sight is 20/20 and the future is blurry so be happy you are still alive and well today.......

 

You know, I was feeling really sorry for myself about a week ago... Had some really strange stuff happen. I got it in my head that I wanted to find one of my old friends from high school who I hadn't talked to in several years. I knew he was in the Army and that he was nowhere near Virginia. Well, I found him on MySpace, sent him a message on the 12th and got a REALLY great reply on the 13th. He died in Iraq on the 16th. Talk about feeling unlucky! It still hurts REALLY bad just to think about it.

Then something happened...

Last week one of our really good friends lost her mom. She had been really sick, but still, she lost her MOM! On top of that, her little brother was killed in a bad car wreck back in October 2006 along with three other young boys. She has lost so much and is still so strong!

I just know that if she can be THAT strong, then I have to be, too. Everyone goes through really hard times. It just make you appreciate the good times and the people around you that much more.

 

I am sorry for your loss.

 

About 6 months before I became pregnant my grand father passed away then when I was 2 months pregnant my grandmother passed away, when I was 8 months pregnant I lost my father, 5 months after I had my daughter I lost 2 friends in a car accident and just last week I lost my other grandfather. I have kinda came to believe there is no way to "get over it" but to just learn to deal with it. When my father was diagnosed with cancer he became very interested in hawks he got his license and caught his first hawk, he use to take it out to fields in the middle of no where and let it hunt I guess it was his way of just getting away from everything. He told me one time that when he died he was going to watch over us (my mom and I) and still be there for us it may sound weird to other people but it seems like everytime I need him or think about him I always see a hawk in the sky. On my way back from my grandfathers funeral last week I started crying looked up and on a telephone pole was a hawk. Some people tell me that its just in my head and I use it to make my self feel better, that probably is true but hey it works.

6 years after my fathers death and there is still times that I cry and wish that I still had a father there to complain about what I wear and the people I hang out with.
I like to believe that all things happen for a reason god put us here for a purpose and when we have served our purpose our time is up. Death is something that is going to happen to all of us and I know that when its my time I dont want people sitting around crying but remembering the times we had together.

 

Guess I should stop whining then.....because two kids who actually were what is right with this world are gone, and my dumbass is still here. It'll never make sense.....

Everything that's wrong with the young generation lately, those two were opposite of.

 

sorry for everyones losses. i lost a friend a few years ago to cancer that everyone thought he had beat. he was a friend of mines dad but everytime i was over at their house we hung out more than my friend and i. he let me drive his viper before his son did. he was like my best friend but older. its kinda wierd because he didnt notice anything until his family kinda fell apart. kids getting bad grades wife wanting divorce. i thought they were the perfect happy family. he got sick then went to some good doctors and got remarkably better the all of a sudden it hit hard. all of a sudden it came back and there was no help. the hardest part was seeing him laying in the bed at home just waiting. i tried to get by there as much as i could but i just couldnt take it knowing that it would be any day now. i stopped by one afternoon and sat with him while he watched the vikings football game(he was the biggest fan. spike tv actually did a show with him in it about hardcore football fans. the hardest thing to watch). before i left we talked a bit then he sat up and hugged me and told me to be good and he loved me. they told me that was the last time he was able to say anything to anybody. he passed a couple day after. it hit hard. my best wishes to everyone and live everyday to the fullest. he made me keep my truck clean. he said it was a reflection of the owner. i guess to this day i clean it for him...
