Update on my Dad

[Bullseye Forever]

Bullseye, I lost my mom when I was 17, she had hypertension.. The asswipe family doc never caught it in time.

Finally some specialist flew in to our town from a bigger city and said..she was in critical condition and too fly her to them asap..

I gave her a kiss and said " I love you" she said it back...that was the last time I heard her speak.

We got to the big city and went to icu to visit her..and she had breathing tubes in and what not..big machines pumping her lungs.

I was fkn scared...was a shock. A few weeks earlier we thought it was a minor blood pressure issue. Then BAM.

So we had a visit for a few days..alll she could do was muster enough strength to scribble a few words down here and there.

I was scared..

We left for home because I had school and we planned to come back in a few days.

Well a few days later we got the call, they said she's not doing well and we needed to come asap.

We got all packed and had were braced for a 400 km plus drive...in a blizzard, almost a complete whiteout.

Just minutes from a leaving.. BANG
Our car felt like we nailed something huge. got out and everything looked fine.

Couple hours down the road, one of our rear tires goes flat..so i put the donut tire on. When we got to the next town we called an emergency tire guy..he changed our tire. My big sis called the hospital..

Bad news...we lost her. I will never forget the feeling...we couldn't be there. We turned around and had the worst drive home ever.


Anyways...Bullseye my prayer go out to you and your family! stay strong! Eventually he will pass the torch to you my friend and you have to be a rock for your family. Your strong, you have us, and our prayers.

my brother thank you for sharing your life experience with me,it really helps me understnd better what to do,and i know it musta been really bad at 17,i cant imagine,my heart goes out to ya man,you are the best brother,thank you

My friend, these times are the hardest times in any ones life.

Twice I have watched my dad dieing before me as they rushed him into the ER and we stood before doctors with grim faces...But he is still here...

There are no magic words that can heal the pains, remove the fear, or cure the sorrow. For that I am sorry.

But I can say that one thing you should remember is that we are not given ends in life. We are given beginnings instead. Should the time come, it is the beginning of something new for your father, something I pray you won't get a chance to see yourself for many years to come. But that you take heart in knowing that there is no end to your discussions, laugther, smiles. If it comes to it, only a lengthy hiatus at the end of which there will be great stories and catching up to do.

And never "accept" that the battle is over until the the very end. I know many survivors who fought to the point where doctors have said they lost, then they simply said "No, your wrong" and fought back from the edge.

Pray, as I will pray for you. Hope, as I will hope for you. And take heart in knowing you have family and friends both physical, and here over the internet.Were all here packed into this side for one reason. So that if one of us falls to the side, he is bound to bump into another and we can hold him up.

The PM box is open if you ever just want to vent, talk, yell even. You can even have my cell man.

No one needs to walk alone, support and friendship are amble and should be offered to one another as readily as water in the ocean.

brother thank you,i will prolly take you up on your offer,it helps me just to talk about it so i wont

My brother u know im here for ya anytime. My thoughts and prayers go out to u and ur family. Ur faith in God is like know other stay strong.

Stuff like this really breaks my heart. My dad is like my best friend and reading this makes me fear that day and makes me sad for you and for the future. Death comes to us all...you just really have to make as much time for him as possible. I need to go call my dad now. I hope you get through this and always remember the good times with your father...never the bad.

Sorry you have to go through this...I guess we all do...I will one day. Keep your head up as high as you can my friend.

That's a really sad story Jimbo, must have been super hard to go trough it at that age,
All these stories really puts things in perspective, I also lost my dad unexpectedly & I couldn't say good bye..
All I can say is, we sometimes hold grudges & fight over silly things with our loved ones, & we loose valuable time, life is too short & everyday is a gift, let your loved ones know you love them & make each moment count.

actually he ask me to do that,and im trying to the best i can

Hang in there Bullseye.

oh man Jimbo. That made me sad let alone you. Bein very young and going through such horrible things is tough. I lost my best friend since I was about 3 when we were 16. He got hit by a car while on his bike on the way home from work. I was fucked up for a while. 2 months earlier we were at our high school basketball game and two buddies on our team were missing. Later through the game a couple cops came in and grabbed there parents. They got in a car wreck on the way to the game and both passed. It was really tough to go through.


Bullseye I know its hard bro. There's nothing easy about it. Stay strong bud.
