Ok, i'm REALLY sad

So first thing that happened in the past 7 days is a very close friend of mine's little FOUR YRO son was playing around with a soccer ball. Got up on the ball to balance himself and fell and broke his leg. After being re-casted twice and having several complications, they had to amputate the little guy's leg.


So i'm sitting here at work having everyone guess how fat i am when my brother calls me and says his best friend...very good friend of mine....had a heart attack last night and died. He's only 32.


Though I believe in God...I really do....sometimes i find my faith lacks and it being a struggle not to curse him.
 
damn, amputate?
i feel more sorry for the little guy than the unforunate soul who had a heart attack
 
I think you have to take tragic moment like that and twist it into something else.

Just because he lost his leg doesn't mean he's not destined for great things and he shouldn't be treat as he could not.

And sometimes when people have a greater impact on the lives of others when they are no long here with us physically.

All depends on how you choose to look at the situation.

Celebrate the positive.
 
wow shit like that is unbelievable. It makes you think very deep and thats why I have a hard time believing in a higher being.......

I wonder how much blame to put on the people that treated that lil boy.
 
Man that sucks. Poor little dude. I've never heard of having to amputate for a broken limb, especially with a kid. Their bones heal a lot easier then grownups.
 
HH... you have a wonderful beautiful mini you waiting for you to pick her up after school. Though I agree all of what you said are so horrid and negative, think about the positive in life. When I feel down and out and everything seems to be going in a down south swirl... I think about my two wonderful beautiful healthy babies.

Wow - that really sucks. Sorry to read that.
 
Things always could be worse. Two friends could have died including the kid. He could have cancer. ALWAYS things can be worse!! Think of all the good things instead of all the bad things. The kid still lives he can get a prostethic leg (sp?) your friend feels no pain! you have many living and healthy friends. their are lots of happy children in the world. THat child has a home, food and people who love him! List will go on forever if you think positively about it!

All true and it definitely makes me that much more thankful for the blessings my life...which i am more and more with each day that passes.

Just sux. Not only the loss, but then hearing my tough bro so fragile and sad on the other end of the phone.

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. I really am.

You know - you normally don't hear of such a thing now-a-days. Well, at least I haven't. That sucks. You think, ok, broken leg, we'll get a cast on this sucker and in 2 months he'll be fine. WTH?
 
don't take away from her grief right now. although people mean well when they offer platitudes and encourage one to look at the positives, it can have the effect of denying or marginalizing someone's right to feel shitty. so feel shitty for a while, it's still raw.

fucking sucks. :(

Lots of injustice in the world, that's why it's important not to lose sight of all the gifts around us.


I don't believe this is injustice, I believe it's meant to be.
Maybe this little young man's path needed to go in this direction. Maybe his life will be better? We can never tell!

My niece is 13 and has a fatal illness that will eventually kill her. She was born with this illness. She is an A student (in erg high school), funny as hell and is beautiful, but she is crippled from the chest down.
Was I pissed at God? At first I was. I questioned my faith with this and so many other painful events, but now I know it all happens like this for a reason.
My niece has taught us to love more, hate less and appreciate every little moment.....I think that is a gift from her and God. :-)

So if you lost both of your arms would you look at it like gee it was meant to happen, Ill be in a better place now that I lost both my arms......comeon! You cant shed light on everything, life has its dark moments.

Well tell me pal, what the hell else can you do? You can dwell and say "whoa is me" but that will not get you anywhere.
No one wants to suffer any pain, but we do, and it's real and it's REALITY, you can try to find the good or you can live in the dark!

I've never understood why bad things can befall the young and innocent....just seems unfair..

However, one must eventually come to the realization that life isn't fair.

Always do the best you can with what you have where you are. (Or however that saying goes...)

Yes get past intial sadness then try getting past being a bitch and then move on! :FRlol: kwelcomebye

It depends on the person and their current state of mind.

You could be like - I'd rather be dead or I'm so happy I'm still alive - either reaction doesn't remove the reality that your life is no longer what it was and yah it sucks.
 
That's really too bad for both of them. But like Velvett said, the kid could still be destined for greatness. Maybe he'll become one of those triathletes that inspires the world.

i'm pretty sure the sadness will part ways with me first.


hold your breath for me tho. ksuckapolebi.


E-flirt alert!

Like mosquitos in here!

Everyone does it, EVERYONE, but you can't try and find meaning in everything that happens. Unfortunately shit happens. I see it everyday at the hospital I work at. So many terrible things that happened to people simply because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time or were just plain unlucky. It's all pure chance. I bet EVERY single poster in this thread at some point in their life stood on a ball and tried to balance on it. I'm sure almost none of us had something bad happen. My point is that with enough people doing it eventually something terrible is gonna happen. It's just that much harder to deal with it when it happens to someone so young.

What you can do is learn to deal with it and TRY to accept it, not to say it was meant to be. Its easy to say it was meant to be unless it was you or someone very close to you. I agree with what you said that its reality, but saying that it was meant to be is what I disagree with

His wife cheated on him.....she's divorcing him....and his computer needs to upgrade to Vista which is going to be a bitch?????

Yeah...great example Einstein.

Sorry to hear about the little guy. One day when he is done growing, perhpaps this company might be able to help...

They build a pretty mean bionic leg
Interesting...I'll pass that on. Once the lawsuit is final i'm sure he'll be able to have as many bionic legs as he wants. :)

His dad said he's just as happy as he can be though. In great spirits.

read the rest of my post, it did happen to someone very close to me...my niece. I did not lose a leg or an arm...but have lost many friends and suffered some horrible things in my life.
It does suck, it does hurt and believe me, no one bounces back right away. What I was trying to say was accept and know out of all bad, some good life lessons are learned.
What's there to disagree on?! Of course it was meant to be, if it wasn't then it would not have happened.

i've been questioning this myself since i was young and innocent.




.....right up to two months ago.


*LOL* I would insert something witty and funny ^^^^^^^here....if I were younger..... :worried:
 
habitualhealth said:
*toot toot*


glad i still have my youth...can't imagine being as old as you are.

neither could I when I was your age....holla' back in about 14 yrs and we will see if you can keep it together as tight as I have.. :worried:
 
habitualhealth said:
lol @ "your age".

speaking of my age...EF added another year to my profile. can't they wait until i actually turn 27? i'm still riding out 26 for 2 more months.

damn I just looked at my profile and they aged me over 10mo in my profile too....

The only thing I disagree with you is the saying it was meant to be.......i hate that saying, why was it meant to be? Its just an easy excuse people use to explain something that is unexplainable.
You do have to somehow keep going forward and try to be as positive as you can.

I thought you were older than me for some reason....well, you are technically but I thought it was more than that and I have no idea why.

That's cause she acts so very mature ;-)

it came from myself and stilleto, just like all the other good things that keep this wretched place from crumbling like a mouldy wedge of some mouldy kind of thing.

I'll tell you what's gooder than good. Chocolate mint ZONE bars. Those dont come from you, do they?

good food is my department. (we can't leave food up to jackangel), so yeah.
