Yeah Patlogi is a jerk. Everyone is different man. People deal with loss in different ways. I understand you dealt with alot and I feel for you, man. But cmon.
I am about to go see my Grandmother who is on life support--for the past week I have been hoping she would come out of it but the phone call today was not good....Endless conversations on whether to keep her on it or not...She is in so much pain its unbearable. I havent seen my parents for over a decade cos they disappeared now his mother is about to pass, and I have absolutely no way (nobody does) to get ahold of him. The last time I talked with my grandmother she was really really concerned about him...Told me how much he means to her...she had her first stroke in November on his BIRTHDAY! I dont think i have ever felt so pissed off in my life. Im not angry about my grandmother--who defines the best human being i can possibly imagine--passing--Im sad about it--but I think she is holding out. For my father to show up. Maybe im crazy. Maybe not.
I had to change battery in a smoke detector today in the "cell" (my little music room) and its a f*&king mess. i brought the chair in--and on the floor was a birthday card from her to me from 2 years ago. I almost lost my shit. Someones trying to tell me something.....
Theres my little Bared Souls thing for today.

That's a lot to deal with, Glen... wish there were better words, but best wishes to her and you both. There ain't nuthin' harder than this, huh?
My parents came to visit this weekend and we realized that Saturday (April Fools) made 18 years since my grandfather passed away. Awesome man, and his passing hit me like a ton of bricks. In part because I adored him, and in part because it was the first time I saw my father cry.
18 years later and I still miss him every friggin' day.

Also like to pass on my best wishes Glen. Went through something very similar with my Grandma a year ago. Thankfully my Uncle did show up to say goodbye when they'd not spoken for years. Before she had said that she wasn't bothered about seeing him as he'd put her and the whole family through so much. However, the look of serenity and pure joy on her face when he did come to see her made us realise we'd done the right thing in contacting him. They made their peace (she died a couple of days later) and as dubious a human being as he may be, nobody deserves to not have the chance to put things right when their mum is on her death bed and I hope your Dad gets the same opportunity. Speaking of freaky - Last week my grandma's necklace turned up behind a radiator when I didn't even know it was missing. A few days later, when it would have been her first birthday after her death, I went to put it on and the chain snapped. I was devastated (I'll get it fixed, of course) but I think that was Granma's wicked sense of humour teaching me a lesson from beyond the grave to look after her things better.  |

A zillion heartfelt Thanks. I didnt mean to get all heavy AND wimpy....Yeah. Bluto has my spinach dawg. My tears have been flowing out hardcore. Alpha Male my ass. (i can still crack a joke through em though)
The bad thing is is that nothing is gonna work out. Missing persons reports, private detectives etc. dont work. Last Friday, I was awakened by a repo man looking to repo my fathers truck. I had the day off! 7 in the fucking morning! It was my morning to sleep in til 8!I dont know where he is, nor do I have a truck in his description! My dad was no deadbeat! I am suprised i maintained my composure. In the face of all this I had to hear that doorbell ring. That guy was lucky to leave my premesis alive....No matter.
It hit me today how fucked the whole situation is -- Im not feeling sorry for myself really--cos none of this really is about me--brothers, sisters, calling me up--i just cant get my head around it. It could be worse of course--I know that--Im thankful for the friends and family I have--a million times over. Its a negative blip in the atmosphere. I just wish there was a way I could help the situation and theres really not. Until I turn into John Shaft with supernatural people finding power. This is the last I will post about this crazy shit. Thanks for letting me post here. DAMN. I would keep it to myself but Im just so pissed that I cannot anymore.
Patlogi--you know what? You arent an asshole. You dont need me to tell you that.

Glen- just belatedly I'll add my voice to the chorus of wellwishers. You know something? You are there for your gran. Your dad misses out on something vital, something you can't share, as sad as the occasion is. I really hope you can enjoy your moments with her.
I still cherish the moments I had when my gran died- our family nursed her during the last monts of her life as she suffered from a brain tumor. Did everything from taking nightshifts, reading to her, play her favourite music to clean up her shit when she lapsed in a coma. Saw those scarce moments when she was clear and recognised me as the best moments. I could clean a sea of shit after that.
Cheers man, again, all the best.

Hey glen, you should've gotten that repo man's number. If anyone knows how to find people, it's repo men. I bet he finds him eventually.

This is the last I will post about this crazy shit. Thanks for letting me post here. DAMN. I would keep it to myself but Im just so pissed that I cannot anymore. dude, in the spirit of what this board was originally like back on the old RS, don't even feel like you should keep things plugged up. Back in the day I had come up with the Bared Souls board so that people could just come out and be real and not expect to get slagged for it. Once some barriers come down it seems people come around to realizing that there's those few things in Life that we all go through/share. I don't know you from Adam and even aside from you being one of my favorite posters, I just feel for ya. |
