My youngest is taking it pretty hard..ugh he's had a lot of tragic losses in his young life he only just turned 12 last month.
When he was just 4 years old one of his very first friends from preschool was killed when he rode his big wheel down his drive way and into the street and was hit by a salvation army truck picking up donations in the neighborhood. (he was being watched by a baby sitter at the time) and there was really nothing the driver could do..he basically rode right into the truck. That was extremely hard...for everyone.
Then last year his teacher who he worshiped was diagnosed with a very aggressive colon cancer. He was such a really cool guy and a fabulous teacher. We were lucky to have him..it's rare to have a young male teacher in Elementary school. This man was only 26 years old. He had a one year old daughter and a son on the way. He was diagnosed in hospice and passed away all within 4 months..He never met his son.
Life can be very unfair sometimes

Thank you everyone for your kind words. The funeral was a beautiful tribute today. He was a vet and was buried with full military honors. It's really a beautiful ceremony with the soldiers dressed in their finest with the sound of Taps being played as they fold the flag that was draped on his coffin so precisely and with such respect to give to his widow. It was so moving and comforting and beautiful.
I'm very sorry for the loss huh. I'm glad the funeral was a comfort.
Is this week half over or what?
Are you sixty already?
Why not? Doesn't cost a dime to dream. Besides, it's not like I'm going to sit around and pout if I die sooner.

Thank you
My next door neighbor from my old home just passed away.. From a brain tumor
He was like a grandfather to my kids.. Like a father to me
We knew it was coming .. But it's still very hard..
I'm making his favorite Spanish lemon cake to bring to his funeral
It was a special request
Aye man this is very hard to deal with something hectic like this
Sorry to hear this huh :/
My grandmother has got terminal cancer and very short time to live... I felt bad because when I used to live with them and had mental health concerns I was very problematic and wanted to escape etc...
Since I have seriously come right I have been very supportive in the last years and I feel I have seriously more than made up for it
She is very caring but sadly this is some one I really do not want to see go but she is very very old and such is life.
She has had an extremely good life.
Sorry to hear it huh - hope I helped you out somehow in some way

Living to 120 is more of a nightmare than a dream. Both my parents went quickly. While it was hard on those they left, it was the best way to go, IMO. The end of a good life should not be lingering misery.
I've seen both. My grandparents lived into their 90's and they were mostly active up to the end. My mother-in-law is in her mid 80's and still goes dancing on the weekends.
You know that it's not your fault, Wayne. Just like your grandmother isn't sick on purpose.

I'm sure she's glad she made it to see you turn it around.
@huh
Sorry for your loss. If you remember him for all the good stuff, he will live forever.

age aint nuthin but a number Hubby's grandmother is 103 lives on her own is on face book emails just stopped driving a couple years ago..not because she had to...just because she sold her place and moved herself into a senior community that has transportation and stores and shops on campus. She is still very healthy..healthier than hubbys dad (her son) the only thing she says that sucks is that you outlive your spouse friends sometimes children etc...so it can get lonely...I had a friend who recently passed away at young 40's. He had a severe aggressive form of MS and he fought like hell for a couple years...but nothing he did could stop it..or slow it down...towards the end he couldnt really take care of himself without help couldn't bathe, bathroom, move, he couldn't even feed himself or anything without help. That's when he decided to let go...he stopped eating and drinking on purpose..refused feeding tubes etc...just...let go
so it really doesnt matter how long you live ..it's HOW you live is what matters
I'm not afraid to die.
