Feel sorry for your loss IF... my prayers are for him and the family... Can't say I blame you, you were just trying to reach out to him... you are only hu-man and as hu-mans...emotions get the best and sometimes worst out of us... We can't all be Vulcans...
It's unfortunate that you lost a family member and my condolences to you and your family. If it makes you feel any better, I had the same thing happen to me with a buddy I grew up with. We had a little spat and for a couple of years we just ignored each other because we were both to proud to say sorry to each other. October 17, 2002, my buddy got killed in a car accident. A lot of things went unsaid between him and I. I talk to him all the time now.
Thanks everyone....this has been a great thread to read...I'm glad to see the message repeated over and over....Apologize and forgive....before it's too late. Celtkin, you have done so much and stuck by me like a true friend,I appreciate all you've done and I could never ask for more. Just keep being you and that's all I need.
I have cousins like this bro. I call and leave them messages and they dont usually call me back, but due to other losses in my family, I wont quit. I'm sorry for your loss, I know it hurts bro.
InFins...My heart goes out to you. It's always hard to loose a family member, especially one who has something in common with you. I'm sure when he thought about the good times and the bad times, you were part of the good ones.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. May he RIP. I can completely sympathize with his and your situation. I am 44 years old and in the last 6 years I have been divorced, My Father, Mother and My oldest Brother passed away. It has been a very hard time For me. But, My faith, friends and family have sustained me. Take a moment and give thanks for the time we have with our loved ones and show them you care before they are gone.
As you know pal, anything you or yours need. I'm sorry for your loss. Let's toast him at the game together.
Sorry to hear about this tragedy bro, RIP. I might pick up the phone and call my older brother...we haven't seen/spoken in 2 years+ now since he got angry and disrespected our mom and told her some horrible things (and he's the one who was/is acting inappropriately) which he has yet to apologize to her for.
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully his family is doing well in this tough time. I had a cousin do this several years ago and it's a terrible thing to have to deal with. Again, sorry for your loss.
I think that the sadness and pain of this world cannot be responded to any better than by doing what you are doing with this, sir.... taking something tragic and painful and using it to create renewed love, positive energy and life by having others learn to appreciate the power of dwelling in the appreciation of the present moment of our lives. Right now is all we ever have, and we should use it to not just soak up the world around us, but to reach out and express love and life through our gestures. Pick up the phone now and call someone to remind them they are loved. Help a friend who doesn;t expect it. Volunteer your care and attention to strangers who need it through a charity. or simply start with yourself, and reflect on what's really important about this life and in this life. Then go out and hold nothing back. What you have done with this sad tragedy is at least find ssome good to come of it, InFins. God bless you and if you need to discuss any of what you're feeling, now or down the road, please feel free to drop me a PM, okay? Barry
I'm sorry that your cousin had to go that way, and I'm sorry that you and other loved ones of his are now left asking questions and hurting. Your reaction is very positive and inspiring. It's always good to make the extra effort to appreciate what we have, and it's always good to make the effort to reach out to one another when we can. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers, man.
That's too bad man, my condolences. I'm sorry for you and your family, but I also feel sorry for him about what he did. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It's unfortunate that sometimes people think it's better that way. I know somebody I have to talk out of doing that at least once a year. If anybody knows a person with serious problems, talk to them, it may be all they need to get them on the right track to feeling better. My sympathies man, I hope the healing begins for your family soon.
I know it brother, and we will. Bet on it. Do it man, no matter what, just do it. thank you sir, thank you very much. Jay, my Dad's neighbor is going through some real tough times lately and I talk to him every now and then when I see him outside. Today, I went and knocked on his door and talked to him about Tommy and how it has devastated a lot of people he knew (Tommy had a big business in Miami, Eco-Tech Environmental Services, there were a lot of people depending on him, to feed their families). My hopes were that if he's having thoughts like what my cousin did, then maybe I changed his mind about that. I don't know that he was, everybody talks a good game but, if he was, I bet he's not thinking it now. And I'll talk to him again tomorrow too. Peace all, thanks for the love.
So, training camp starts Saturday huh....the funeral services are going to be at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens which is near Davie so if anybody hears about 500 motorcycles going past the practice facility, that's us on the way to the burial site. Tommy was an officer in his motorcycle club, which means that it's mandatory attendance for all the members across the state....Should be an amazing spectacle and an awesome send-off.
sorry infins. something my grandmom told me, which i think is a good policy. No matter what, always say goodnight to your loved one. "Don't go to bed angry", basically. Its has a figurative meaning in addition to literal, and its a good message. sorry for your loss.
