What made you sad today...

WILDCAT · 12-12-2009, 11:30 PM

... thanks for this thread. I normally don't like to post "downer" things...

However, this past week on a musical thread someone reminded me that on the 8th of the month was the anniversary death/shooting of John Lennon. I felt very sad that night, and lit a candle.

But, I felt extra sad, and thought of this one buddy of mine from my hometown down the road (an older bro of a girl I graduated with from high school). And I thought of his wife, that I don't know real well, but spoke to her on occasion. She was originally from England.

Here no matter what our age, we all hang out together and are close in discussing nearly anything! It's a very small town. (Of course I am out with this man, and he is very cool with this - as his sister/friend of mine whom I grew up playing sports with is gay!)

Anyway, I just found out late yesterday - that this friend's wife had died... in town here on the 8th. I couldn't believe it. She was 55 years old. They had one teenage boy and the father and son came home to find her deceased.

I am just so stunned and sad about this.

To make it more complex... in high school, this friend and his sister/my classmate's Mother came to ALL of our sports events and we JUST LOVED HER... died at the age of 57 - and these kids NEVER bounced back from that loss - it was very painful.

Now, this is like history repeating itself for my buddy and his sister (and the rest of the siblings). I feel just HORRIBLE for them and this young teenage son.

It really makes you wonder why these things happen.

Love to all,

WILDCAT

Wildcat,

So sorry to hear of your losses...I do hope that time can heal the wounds left behind by the tragedies.

In the meantime, peace to you and your tender heart.

Someone that I was beginning to like and trust was dishonest to me today.

Peace

Not being able to kiss my love or wrap my arms around her tightly for a week makes me sad....

Two of my three kids won't be home for Christmas this year.

I keep telling myself it's 'okay' but I realized today that it's not 'okay' at all.
