I got some bad news today myself. My recruiter left the house today, I was feelin' all good about leaving for basic tomorrow and then the phone rings. My grandmother was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer last month and has had a few chemotherapy treatments. Heard today it has spread to her kidneys and they are stopping chemo. I am going to tell my dad to tell her to hang in there so she can see me graduate. I have a feeling I am going to get a call halfway through saying come home. Just remember she is in a better place and she's watchin' you!

Monkie, I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest condolences are with you and the rest of your family.
*** Bless!


It doesn't seem as if it's been a good month for a lot of us lately!

Myself, I have lost my great grandmother to ovarian cancer last thursday, and I lost a great friend about 2 weeks ago to lung cancer. It's really hard to believe that people that are in our lives at one moment may not be there the next.

I urge everyone to make sure you spend as much time with family and friends as you can, because I know myself that I will never take that time for granted again.

NEVER forget the joy she gave to you, let that be with you for the rest of your life.

I haven't cried much at all through this. And there is only one reason...Before she died I had stopped bealiving in the Lord about 2 years ago. I was a 15 year old that couldn't understand the world. My mom couldn't believe that I could do something like that. But it is so hard to believe in something that you cant see and no one can prove that it is there. I have never seen a million dollars, but I know it is there. She had tried and tried to get me to believe in *** but like always I wouldn't listen. My mom died of "sudden death syndrom" if anyone wondered. It is a thing to where your brain tells your heart to just stop working. Just like that it happens to 60,000 people a month or something I think. And only 1 out of 20 live. She got a job no more than 2 weeks ago and she hadn't had one in over 3 years and the job CAME TO HER. She wasn't even looking for it. *** sent it to her because that is where she got sick was last thursday at work. And it happened around 11:45. I get out of school for an hour at 11:35 for lunch and I got home at about 11:50 when my dad called and I rushed him to the hospital with me. He called and told me to stay home no matter what. He came and got me and we went off to the hopital going WOT. He has a 69 Camaro that is all original and I knew it wasn't gonna last long doing that. About a mile down the road going wide open it started to over heat and smoke was coming out of the engine bay. So we went back home and changed cars. We got to the hospital in 20 mins and it take about 30 mins regularly. I was going 80mph in a 45mph zone most of the time. I was scared ****less. Anyways what I am trying to say is *** sent my mom that job so that I didn't have to go through watching my mom die on the kitchen floor cause I dont know CPR and I couldn't have helped her. And she didn't feel any pain at all. She didnt see it coming she just blacked out. I hope that I am that lucky when I die. She went so peacefully. And she is looking down on me with her father hugging her and she is going to guide me through my life. And I have been a fool for not believing in *** and doubting him. What a fool I was. You never understand how and why things happen and *** doesnt want you to understand them. That is for you to understand when it is your time. And my mom will be waiting on me with a hug and a "I love you sweetie" when I see her again. But that wont be for a while, Im not quite ready yet. I still have to graduate for her and go through college. She wanted that more than anything for me. And she will be there to watch me go up there in a few months and she will have the best seat in the house. I can only smile at my mom and what she has done for me, no tears can come. She wont let me cry. And like I told my dad, I haven't lost my mom. She is still with me, in my heart and I can feel every bit of her. I love her to death. And I will see her later down the road. Im just glad she has shown me the way.

Monkie,
I lost my grandfather this year and it was really bad for me. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose my mom. I had dreams of it before that left me feeling bad for weeks. My deepest condolences for you and I hope that you feel better. Please don't be afraid to cry, it helps believe me. She is always watching you and she will always be in your heart.

Monkie, my deepest deepest <B> DEEPEST</B> sympathies. I have not experienced this kinda thing, but I hope you keep her memory alive and well in your heart. That is one of the best things you can do. Keep your head up, and NEVER forget her.

My friend gives you these words:
<i>*Hug*

i hope that u will always cherish the memories u and ur mother had. because they are the only ones that you can keep.

they don't understand how much it hurts when they say sorry.

they think they know but they just don't realize how painful it is to lose the one you love

u've been really..... i don't know another word to describe u but ... brave. That u can accept the death of ur mother. throughout your message, it touched my heart knowing you believed in G0d now.

she's always be with u..... in ur heart, ur room, the living room, everywhere... just remember the memories and the feeling when you were with her.

May G0D be with you.</i>

i sorry that had to happen to u. i know exactly what u must be goin thru. but it seems that u are taking it really good. when i got the news that my x killed herself, i just kinda sat in the corner of my room and didnt move for a week. i personally dont believe in a "higher power", but if u have faith, dont loose it. just keep ur mom in ur heart at all times and never forget about her. remember that she lives in ur memories. if u keep that in mind, she'll always be there for u still.

-mike

ps: if u wanna talk bout anything just email me loomdog32@hotmail.com

Wow, i can't even begin to imagine what that must be like. I'm sorry that you have to go through some thing like this. News like this can really put things in perspective and sort out your priorities. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

You might want to talk to the Jehovah's witnesses in your area, i know for a fact that they can help you with your grief.

Sorry to hear about what happened. It is so tough to loose a family member. I lost my granddad to sudden death syndrom a year ago, it's scarry stuff. One minute the person is talking, the next minute their dead. But the important thing is they don't suffer that way. My grandmother just died a few months ago after batteling diabetes and heart disease. It was the most awful thing i could have imagined, many times I just wanted her to die so her pain would go away.

I didn't mean to ramble on, but you are in my prayers.
-Peace

I am so sorry to hear about this monkie. Tragedy seems to be hitting us all this year. My G/f had 3 grandparents die in less than 4 months, and my grandmother died also. But I can not imagine life with out being able to go home, and say mom, I had a rotten day and explain the problems. But just reading the piece you wrote, I believe is an encouragement to us all, that the loved ones we lose will always be there watching. I had a great older friend who once asked me to invite him to my wedding, and even though I can't invite him, someday he will be there watching as I marry my beautiful young lady.

Once again Prayers for you monkie.

Monkie, you & your family have my sympathy as regards what happened. Glad to hear you're doing OK. Make sure to give your mom a "thumbs up" when you walk across the stage on graduation day.

Sorry to hear man. Its tuff stuff. I know this isnt nearly to scale at all but when i lost my dog last year, i was pretty beat up. So i cant imagine what'll be like if i lose a family member, especially my mom.

Hold yourself high, remember everything your mom ever taught you. *** bless!
