Remember I told you about my friend who got hit by a truck? I've got some bad news...

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

um they did the MRI and found out hes got really bad damage to both sides of his brain and its worst then they thought. They say they dont know if theres anything they can do for him and they think he might stay the way he is forever, not be able to talk or move, i guess. I dont know, I cried about it, of course, Its nice to know theres some soul left in me. I find myself praying in the weirdest places and almost all the time, and I dont know what good its going to do me, but I do it anyways. I dont honestley know what I exspect. Part of me says if I pray enought then he'll get better, if I believe it'll happen it will, the other part tells me thats bullshit.

But yet, Im upset because I kinda exspected this, i should have known he wouldnt get better. No, god forbid he get better.

I lost my faith a long time ago, and I've seen too much trouble in my life, I've felt so much heartbreak. But why him, why now? he didn't do anything, he was just a baby for Christ's sake.

God to me right now is a "mean kid with a magnifying glass, and im an ant. he can stomp on me and seal my faite in 5 seconds, but he'd rather just burn off my feelers and watch me squirm."
But, thats the way life works isnt it? Your born, you get screwed, eventually loose everything and anything that has meaning to you, you have a couple kids who grow up and hate you, your depressed, you get screwed some more, and then you die.

There is no Hell. welcome to real life, we are in hell, and appearentley Pat Benetar was right, Hell is for children.

And the sad thing about this is that I just completley bashed the man I was born to praise, and I feel horrible. I guess I am a true catholic. I've been told that everything happens for a reason, but thats also bullshit. Theres no reason for a 5 year old to get cancer, theres no reason for a 14 year old to get hit by a truck, and the girl he was with? yeah, remember her? well, shes going back to school this week. yeah, shes just peachy. I have all these reasons to become an Atheist and yet I dont. I just keep thinkin maybe if I pray hard enough, maybe if I promise god something, or go to church, just maybe, MAYBE, my friend'll get better.

whatever... Life's a bitch and then ya die, so fuck the world, lets just get high. :(

Well, that just seems like the worst possible news. Damn. My dad was like that at the end, but it only lasted a month.

I've never believed in god, not ever. But when my dad got cancer when I was 16, I prayed and promised god all kinds of things. I think it's natural to think "just in case." It's also good to express your feelings and sometimes it seems like the only safe place is in a prayer or type of prayer.

I'm so sorry. I don't think that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things just suck and bad things happen to good people and it's just fucking unfair.

I am more than twice your age. I have a lot of really good friends. Almost every one of my close friends lost an important person in their lives at a young age. Apparently, I'm attracted to people who have suffered. What I have noticed is that they all appreciate what they have. They are thankful for their own health, they realize that everyone isn't going to live to be 80, they don't put off the things they want to do, they aren't waiting until they're retired to travel, and they don't take their friends and family for granted. Maybe you can see why they make such great friends. Many of them have had to make a family out of friends, and I spend every Christmas Day with them.

I try to remember to tell the people in my life why they are important to me on a regular basis. That way, I always have my affairs in order if something happens to me or them. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

Don't give up faith!

If I remember correctly he was hit when he was on his bike? I might be wrong and I'm sorry. You also said he has very ballsy? I don't believe all accidents are god's design. So please keep your faith, keep your support and love.

Unfortunately there things we cannot control. But we can keep our love.

Hang in there! Many of us know what your are feeling, don't lose sight of him!

My friend was in a horrible accident....years later she recieved her bachelor degree, it is possible! I have also lost a brother and I know what it feels like to have your face pissed on...or piss on god's face. You will go through the stages of coping, don't be denial of how you feel, but please don't give in!

peace to you and your friend and everyone affected by this!
See, this is a nice answer. Why am I always the glass-is-half-empty girl?

Because YOU SUCK. :p


Seriously, I love your stories Documad. Much knowledge. Wise.


Anyways, have faith that your friend will be ok. Just have faith.

[Documad]

Much knowledge. Wise.
Thanks! Since I won the case where I spoke like Yoda in court, I've decided to channel him more often.

It is literally impossible to go wrong when copying Yoda. Impossible. You can't. Even if you try to fuck it up. Go ahead. Try it, the mind's natural relex will kick in and the Yoda gene will take over.

Kristen that's really horrible, I'm sorry that happened to your friend. But becoming Athiest ain't gonna help anything, you have to believe if you want things to go your way you know? I do believe there is a God, and if you pray he expects you to do something in return. Like if you want your friend to get better if you just pray God ain't just gonna make him better you know you have to do something in return or something. So all I'm saying is have faith and it always makes things better. And if it turns out the wrong way, then remember that everything DOES happen for a reason and life is a lesson you know? Everyday we learn something new whether it be conciously or subconciously. So just hang in there aright. :(

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend.

Do I recall correctly that you are fairly close with his family? If so (or really, even if not), try and stay close to support them. You'll all inevitably go through a type of grieving, and you'll need eachother.

There are no doubt tough times for you ahead, but don't lose touch. So long as you are able to, go and visit and just sit with him and read, or take him for walks (when/if you are able to), etc. You have no idea how much it may or may not mean to him, but it will no doubt mean a great deal to his family and it will be good for you as well.

thats tough. Well, I wish your friend the best of luck and you need someone else besides internet buddies to talk to. Maybe someone close to your family or you friend's.

I'm so sorry about your friend. I'm sure you cared about him very much and I hope he gets better. If you need anything PM me.
