Some Personal Bad News

I can't even comprehend how devastating something like that would be.

Thanks for the thoughts. It'll be okay. Like most things, it's amazing what you can adjust to when you have no other choice.

Honestly, it feels really quite odd. Mostly a strange, numb feeling. I mostly check on the wife and walk around sort of looking for a purpose. My son came back from his grandparent's tonight and started asking me about the new baby. Trying to explain all of this to a three-year-old probably sucks most of all.

Sorry Z

Sorry to hear the news man, my thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

Extremely sorry to hear about that, Z.

The thing about a thread like this is, you have to check in and show how caring you are. Which is all a bunch of bullshtein. I'm sorry your hopes were dashed and all, but the whole thing makes me sick. People who would otherwise be snide jerks turn into sappy Hoydas. farg you all.

I'm reminded of the threads about Herb, who was a nice guy and all, but for farg sake I am still sick of his long, public, drawn out "heroic" battle with cancer.

Life farging sucks.

Do everyone a favor and keep your cynicism to yourself, Dio.

Diomedes · February 18, 2007, 09:33:19 PM

Soon as you keep your slavish allegience to Hallmark nation to yourself, I'll consider it. Until then, Florida boy, you can eat shtein and die.

Nobody has to feel obligated to say a peep. Sort of doesn't matter how anyone feels about it, really, one way or another. I started the thread so I don't get questions asking me about it down the line...and I don't feel like sending a bunch of PMs. I'm not an especially social, touchy-feeley guy, so I'm just trying to rip off the bandaid.

That said: Dio, that's cool that you feel that way...but I'd rather this not turn into one of those threads that goes in some other direction. I just want to get the word out and have it fade away.

Fair enough.

BlueHeart · February 18, 2007, 10:36:51 PM

So sorry to hear about this, Zan.

Zan...I am so sorry for your family's loss. Not that I need to tell you this but you have one amazing little boy over there and I know in that sense, you and your other half know how blessed you are.
