When it rains, it fucking pours...
« on: August 11 2009, 01:03:41 AM »
Originally I wasn't going to have a post on this, but its been too much to bear.

July 22nd my Mom died.

August 6th my friend Mark was in a motorcycle accident and med flighted to Boston
where the doctors have him in a chemically induced coma, and they're not sure if they can save his leg.

August 9th my friend Mike's wife and daughter were in an accident in Nova Scotia.
His 16 year old daughter was killed when she was thrown from the vehicle, and his wife has a broken neck.

August 10th my Brother was in a motorcycle accident and med flighted to Boston
where he died from internal bleeding.

Enough is enough already !!!

Yes, I know what you mean, unfortunately.

Talk doesn't make things better, but time does. Hang in there.

Jesus Christ Rob. I am so sorry to hear that. I saw the pic on your Facebook, and wondered why it was your bro's last pic. :( :(

Zap's words are correct - time is the only thing at this point.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

One more thing: I sincerely hope that you're taking some soul-searching/'Me Time'. An acoustic, a bottle, solitude and a lot of inspiration can succor a guy through more than you'd think.

Thanks everybody. Here is an update:
The Doctors were able to reconstruct my friend Mark's leg.
He could be home soon. Mike and his family are still in Canada
because the can't find a flight to accomodate their needs.

Man, I honestly avoided posting here because I don't know what to say. Give me a call when you get a chance man. Just hang in there and get a break from everything if you can.
