Life is funny

[the addict]

not trying to start a emotional thread or a pity party, but just let me say this...


APPRECIATE WHAT YA GOT





My wifes best friend (maid-of-honor in our wedding), has had a tough stretch over the past couple weeks....she is actually sitting her currently with my wife, and i asked if i could share her story to try and share some perspective on what is life...


She had her first child, baby girl, recently......it was born with 6 fingers on one hand, and 12 toes.....doctor says surgery can fix it, but still tough to deal with i would imagine....


then about a month ago, her grandma passed from cancer.....close to a month after she was diagnosed (luekemia)

2 weeks ago, her father died from MRSA, which was all through his body...unexpectedly

then today, she showed up hear crying hysterically, telling us how her uncle (fathers brother) had just been killed in an accident by another driver....obviously unexpectedly




i mean man, if that isnt a lot for a person to deal with i dunno what is.....



dealing with anyone of those things in a life is hard, but to be hit with all 4 in a matter of months is terrible.....I made her dinner and she is staying here for the night, because she really doesnt have a lot of family left in the area....



I guess what im trying to say is appreciate everything you got....i was reading the article BBC posted in the other thread about quiting smoking, and it also talked about a young man losing his life, and his children would now grow up fatherless...



like i said, not trying to start up a thread where people need to feel bad for anyone, just saying it so people can evaluate the important things in life...

cause in all reality, our ticket could be called next...



fuck this shit is fuckin with my head right now....how in the hell does all that happen....i literally have no clue what to say to this girl....i just keep telling her im sorry....:shrug:

Life is funny

Nothing about what you wrote is funny.

Seems to me that God may be trying to get your attention.

.............................................................

there is nothing you can do or s\ay that will make things better for her.

The best thing to do is just be there for her, which it sounds like you guys are already doing.

better to just let them talk and listen.

she is not looking for advice. Just kind friends.

....i just keep telling her im sorry....:shrug:

Just let her know you'll be there for her and let her talk it out. Don't try and explain anything or why or that it's happening for a reason or else you'll come off as cold, callous and clueless as buddy.

 

[fatdaddycool]

Strange that the baby was born with three extra digits and now three family members are gone. Yes life is strange. Hopefully she can find some comfort in the new life she has created.

My attention? By punishing my friends? Not sure I agree...

And I didn't think it was funny



Will listen and do what u all said...she is still in hysterics....don't blame her...I woulda broke way before now....terrible...

 

[buddy]

Just let her know you'll be there for her and let her talk it out. Don't try and explain anything or why or that it's happening for a reason or else you'll come off as cold, callous and clueless as buddy.

I didn't appreciate your cheap shot.

I responded to the only question that was asked, "

....how in the hell does all that happen...."

 

[kickserv]

buddy.........

Go fuck yourself and your bible thumping bullshit.


The addict responded much better then I would.

You bible thumping god fucks make me sick.

How dare you say what you did.



Disgusting what you said, absolutely disgusting.


You should be ashamed of yourself.

Absolutely disgusting.




Addict............tough story, life sucks sometimes. Just be there for your friend, pretty much all you can do. But sure as fuck don't tell her "god is telling you something".

No offense but this why people get rubbed the wrong way by religious nuts. Give me a break. God is telling him something by taking loved ones from his wife's best friend.... Even if you truly believe that you should keep it to yourself..

 

[kickserv]

bleedingpurple...."bible thumpers" don't keep anything to themselves.

Have to "spread the word".


Fucking makes me sick.



"God is trying to get your attention"



Fuck right off buddy.

Ya that's kinda how I felt....

But try to avoid conflict....

Even with statments like this...which is fuckin dumb

 

[kickserv]

addict.....I am sure if he said that to your face....there may be conflict.


buddy was way way way out of line what he said to you. I mean way outta line.

Agreed....

I've been tryin not to let things get to me as much....but occaisionally the adrenaline gets pumpin....mostly with dumb statements and dumb people....kinda like this

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

I didn't appreciate your cheap shot.

Which one do you have a problem with . . . callous? cold? or clueless?

 

[bleedingpurple]

No doubt, you could add a bunch more.

 

[kickserv]

I don't agree with much you have to say kick.... but I think you are spot on with this.
You're still an asshat though. :0008

 

[kickserv]

PaSprint....you are ok in my book now.
