Rough Week....

[ToucanSpam]

So a friend of the family died this past week, I'm pretty bummed. It's the first time that someone close to me has died since my grandpa 3 years ago. It kind of opens my mind to living more for the moment...


Do you guys find death can change your perspective like that?

[roosta]

Living for the moment can get you killed

[Kid Presentable]

Living for the moment can get you killed

Nah, that's dying in a moment.

[kleptomaniac]

You're always the most alive right before you die.

I dont think it makes me focus on living more as much as it does on not dying. So I'm a lot more careful for about 2 months.

Yeah, that's really sad ToucanSpam. :( When I was 11 one of my close friends died from drowning to death, and that really made me realize that even though I'm young it don't mean I can't die.

Death always makes me sad, but never has really changed my views on anything. There was this one crazy situation was when i was living in Peru i was at the beach with my family and uncle and stuff, and my uncle and sister were farther out in the ocean and i wanted to get over to where they were, i was prob 10 or 11, couldnt swim the best, and this wave came by, and all of a sudden i had no footing under me. I was nearly drowning. And i was calling for help and this random teenger guy who was chilling on shore came all the way off the sand, and ran into the water to save me. He made it all the way to me, quickly grabbed me, but let go once he saw my sister was coming to get me, so, i wasnt really paying attention, my sister was helping me, but once i got back to shore i was ok, but the guy off the beach who tried to help me was never seen again. They had helicopters going over the water, police and rescue teams there. Nothing. No body either. It was too surreal. We later went to the family's house and my dad gave them some money as they were poor, but i usually never think about that day, and i dont know why im typing it out now, as i rarely talk about this. Im almost starting to tear up as im typing this cause i feel bad for the guy and his family. Death is highly shitty.

i've had a grandfather die and two great uncles die and it didn't phase me one bit. for some reason i just didn't give a fuck. stuff like that just doesn't seem to bother me. the one thing that did bother me though, was when one of my great uncles died and my father got all his money (wasn't much but was enough to by a brand new S-10) and my father and my mother were like extremely excited and didn't really care the uncle fuzzy died and they got a new car out of it. that really pissed me off.

that sounds kinda shitty. my uncle died last year, and we got all his money, and we bought a new house, of course we are extremly sad about his death, but thanks to it, my dad can pay for mine and my sisters colleges, my dad paid off my sisters 37'000 debt. It has really helped us out.

That reminds me of what happened when my great grandma died. While she was still in her apartment and dead, my uncle was goin through her shit lookin for money. She collected jugs full of quaters and had a lot of valuable jewelry and he took it all then told everybody she was dead after he was done. I know if my grandma knew he did that, she'd call him a money hungry whore. (a word she made up for people who always tried to take her money). But my mom was the closest to her of all her grand kids and she didn't even get any money, we needed it the most too. Fucked up shit. :( But I was 10 when that happened, when I went to the funeral lay out thing I saw her dead and I didn't even cry, I was pretty close with her too. I think I was just shocked and I was to young, it didn't hit me till I saw some pictures of her then I started remembering everything and I cried. I miss my grandma now. :( Ok, I'll shut up.

fuck. thats all i can say.

Just before I got back to the states, my buddies uncle died and the shitty part of it is that he died by falling off his motorcycle and headfirst into the bumper of another friend of mine's car. It was due to excessive speed and drunk. I was friends with him and we used to party hard together so it kinda hurt me.

Then a week after that, my friend's Mom passed away cause she had many different things wrong with her. Of course she was close to me as well. I've known her since I was 5. My friend and his sister are taking it very easy. They're expecting their father to pass soon cause he has really bad kidney problems and and he has to do dialysis 3 times a week but it's not helping.

Within 3 weeks of me being home, my great aunt Naiomi started getting ill. She was 98 years old. She knew it was her time so while in the hospital, she requested not to be fed or to take any kind of nurtition. She was so strong that it took one week for her to pass. It was very sad for me to see her in her bed cause she was so pale and thin. She met my wife for the first time while she was in the hospital and even though she was incoherant, she grabbed my wife's hand and pulled her down and kissed her cheek.

Ok, my sob story is over. During my time overseas, I've seen much death and thought I would be heartless and have no emotion over it. When I had close friends and relatives pass, I felt sorrowfull and I'm glad that I do have those feelings and not numb about it.

Yeah, you're right about that. Live a for the moment. I've been through shit but I know it always can get better and whatever happens is for a reason.
