Title: My Family
Post by: Trauma-san on April 26, 2001, 05:03:22 PM
Hi Everybody;
 My father passed away this morning. I was very, very close to him, and he passed while on vacation in Boston.  

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, because me and my 2 brothers are destroyed...

I'll see you online soon.

Hi Everybody...

Thanks for all the words of encouragement and sympathy... I've never lost anyone I knew to death, out of the 1000's of people I've met and known in my life, not 1 has died...

Now I find out my dad, who was the closest person to the WORLD to me, is gone.  

He was 55 years old, and I'm not trying to make him out to something better than he was, but he really was a special guy.  My dad was so special that he was my friend! How many people can say that about their parents? When I hear people talk bad about their parents, I never understood because I've always thought my dad was the coolest person alive.  He wasn't perfect, and he knew it, but when you love someone, you don't even care.  My dad always went the extra mile for me and my brothers, like a good father would, and he was always there for us to take care of us for as long back as I remember.

He was in great health, actually.  I had just talked to him last week about retirement, and I told him that he might live to be 90 or 100, with modern medicine, you never know... he told me "yeah, but like you said, you never know".  Now a week later he's gone...  I mean, this is sooooo messed up.  I've told anybody that ever talked to me about it, that the one thing I couldn't understand was how I was gonna make it through the day my dad died.  This is the one thing I've dreaded for years, a worse thing COULDN"T have happened to me and my family.

He was vacationing in Boston thursday morning, and he told my stepmom, Rosalie, when he woke up thursday morning that he wasn't feeling too good (they were gonna go for a walk)... so he layed back down on the bed, because he's a diabetic.  Sometimes he has lightheaded spells, because of that... He asked her to open the doors to let in fresh air, and he didn't feel any better... about a minute went by, and he told her she better call the hospital... she immediately called 911, and they were there within 5 minutes.  He was still breathing, but he stopped, and they couldn't resuscitate him...

There one minute, gone the next, guys.  I know yall will think I'm soft, but I just thought of a perfect song line to describe the feeling, if you haven't been through it....

"Like a comet, blazing cross the evening sky; gone too soon.
Smiling, Sparkling, Shimmering Bright; here one day, gone one night" - Michael Jackson


I'm taking it much better than I thought, but I've got a few problems.  Our house was just refinanced, so we owe on it, but I'm getting an insurance check, that will cover it and the funeral... It still hasn't set in that he's gone, so I don't know if it's gonna get worse or not, I imagine it might.  I've got plenty of friends over off and on, so I'm not alone, and that's good...It just makes me feel good that everybody replied with their kind remarks, thanks everybody...

I'll get on later, and update everybody... eastside up, eastsidaz....

No, dogg, you not soft. I feel for you...One of my best friends from De Renne died helping these kids out of a gangbang about 6 months ago...I admit it, I cried like a baby. You've just proven you're a strong guy, Trauma.

My condolences...He's in Heaven, smiling down, to paraphrase Puffy...

Thanks Again Everybody, Like I Said, I'm Taking It Pretty Good.  The Funeral And Everything Is Monday Or Tuesday... So That'll Probably Be A Different Story... But I'm Doing Good... See, I Can Properly Capitalize My Words Again....

I Forgot To Mention, He Died Of A Massive Heart Attack... When I Told My Little Brother, He Was Like "If He Just Would Have Stopped Smoking!" So He Doesn't Really Understand Totally, But They're All Doing Good.

i havent checked the board in a couple of days.....so these are some belated condolences,

but please dont feel as though that means they are any less heartfelt and sincere,

i feel like even if it hurts like hell, something positive always comes out of death,

and i know that someone as strong and balanced as you will pull through just fine Trauma,

stay up homie and help pull the rest of your folks through this,

the way that you talk about your father being your friend touched me deeply and inspires me tomaintain that kind of bond between my son and i until the day that im gone,

im prayin your you and yours partner.

I know I don't post as much as a lot of you, and I don't really know you personally Trauma, but I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can't pretend to know your sadness, but I can keep you in my prayers. I've already prayed for you and your familys emotions, and I will continue to pray for your financial situation. I'm sorry you had to lose your father. Stay up.

Man, Tonight Was The Viewing... It Was Really Hard Seeing Him, They Don't Look Right, But At The Same Time, It Drives Home The Point That It's Just A Shell, It's Just A Busted-Up Body, And The Spirit Ain't In It Anymore... If You've Never Been, Lemme Tell You, When You See The Body, You Realize That The Body Had Nothing To Do With Why Your Loved One Was What They Were, It's Really Obvious That There Is A Soul, Sometype Of Energy That Didn't Have Anything To Do With The Body, So It Proves To Me That There's A God, And That The Soul Lives On... I Also Had A Special Prayer At The Gravesite Tonight (He'll Be Buried Tommorow), And I Believe I Saw His Spirit Standing With Us For A Second, So I Think He's Still Around, It's Really Cool, Actually...

I'll Talk To Yall Later On...
