I'm very conflicted about sharing this, but since this is where I spend hours every day, I'm going to. Last night I mentioned my granddaughter's friends seeing the Queen performance and being impressed. At 1 am, while I was still stanning, my son-in-law came in to say goodnight and make a joke about the kids and my campaigning for Adam. We laughed and went to bed. When my daughter woke up this morning, he had died of a brain aneurysm sometime between 5am and 7:30am. He was 11 yrs older than my daughter, one of my best friends (I knew him before my daughter did,) and the absolute nicest guy and best dad in the world. He leaves an 18yr old college freshman, a 15 yr old high school freshman, and a first grader, all of whom adored him. I'm in my room trying to find anything to help me deal with the next 4 or 5 days. There will be no moving back to Myrtle Beach, need to be here to help everyone deal with life. Bottom line, I guess, is live and enjoy your life while you can because we are not guaranteed tomorrow. You all help me enjoy that life every day and I thank you. Oh savvy....I am so terribly sorry for your family's loss. thank you for sharing with us. Wish there was something I could say or do to make this time less difficult, but I know that's not possible. Please extend our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family and know that we are here thinking of all of you and hoping that you can feel our thoughts, prayers and hugs. |

Oh, Savvy, I'm so very sorry. I remember you telling me over lunch what a wonderful SIL you had and how well you two got along. I know you'll miss him tremendously. I'm sure everyone is in shock and will be for some time to come. I'm so glad you are there for your daughter and grandkids....they'll need you. Sending prayers for you and your family in this most difficult of times.

Savvy - I want to add my condolences to you and your family. I can't even begin to imagine the shock and grief that you are feeling.  Just the shock of reading your comment and thinking it was an "Adam Moment" story and then realizing what happened was like a physical blow. You know we are all sending you love and strength. Come here and escape rl when you need to. We'll do our best to hold you up.  |

Savvy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mother very suddenly when I was a teenager. It uproots your life, then you find a new normal. It takes a lot of time.
My thoughts and love are with you and your family during this time of transition.

You all help me enjoy that life every day and I thank you. "Bottom line, I guess, is live and enjoy your life while you can because we are not guaranteed tomorrow." Truer words never said. In June 09 my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer--in October 09 he was gone. 11 months later my mom died (I think it was a broken heart). They (who are "they" anyway) say time heals. I guess so but time has not finished it's anguish in my heart yet. May I say I am heartbroken for your daughter and you. I'm so glad you have this special place to find comfort and support. You are blessed! And when you get down and need a friend, come to ATOP. You have many friends here who love and care about you. They will get you through the bad times and help you remember the good times. |
