Bro’s thread

Let’s sac up and talk about loss. We’re all brothers and sisters here. I lost my brother, 43, way too young, my mom still too young, and the first woman I truly loved (still do Jamie). The night she died, I drank enough whiskey to kill 10 average men. I went out in a thunderstorm and challenged God to a fist fight.

Share brothers.
 
My father had lung cancer. He was diagnosed in October. I decided to move back to where my parents lived (400 miles away) so I could be closer to him, hoping that he fights.

I quit my job and arranged the truck to move on the 1st of Dec, which was a Thursday.

I was at a hotel attending a dealer meeting for the company on a Monday afternoon when my mother called that he is crashing.

I flew home. Buried him on Tuesday. Came back, signed papers at the company and moved my home and family on Thursday.
 
It's such mixed emotions, as RadiantCurves said. I think that's the hardest part. My uncle passed last Tuesday much faster than anticipated. The sorrow you feel is mixed with a thankfulness that they're no longer suffering, and you kind of feel guilty to feel that way.
Those feelings are totally valid Lil Sis. I felt exactly the same as my mom was dying. Thanks for opening up. I’m sorry for your loss. ❤️
 
Thank you, and while yes my cousin's story is sad/tragic. I see and hear now what it was like before I was born.

I am beyond thankful I had him keep those sunshine rose colored glasses on. I got to know him and his friends, love him for who he is. Not for all the illnesses he had. My aunt and uncle pretty much was my second house lol. It drove my aunt crazy that he and i had our own convos in our heads based on looks without speaking. 😂

So while his death, was the hardest one I knew I will forever have gone through and during covod, and won't lie there are days, I just want to hug and talk to him. I know he is living a life like in Avatar/Star Wars, that he dreamed of.

Yes, I will always see the light/bright side in darkness.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
