Title: Some Personal Bad News
Post by: Zanshin on February 18, 2007, 03:17:14 PM
I made a few comments about my wife being pregnant on here not long ago, so I thought I'd just get this out of the way:

Unfortunately, my wife had to have some emergency surgery yesterday, and we lost the baby.  So, there's no more little Eagles fan on deck.

It's one of those sad things that happens, though usually not this late in the game.  At any rate, my wife looks to be holding up as well as she can be under the circumtstances, and we'll be okay.

Since people on here knew we were expecting, I figured Id just start a thread and be done with it.

Thanks.

Hey, life can sometimes be a nasty kick in the balls.  No newsflash for anyone there.  Was just our turn in the barrel, as the old joke goes.

It'll be okay.  Thanks, though.

proof positive that life sucks:  Zanshin's kid didn't make it, but somehow I did.

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.

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.

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.

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.  :(
