Sounds like someone hired a hitman

Also, I lost my dad when I was 8. He was 37. Growing up you have this idea that 37 is old. Now that I am 37, it really hit home. He died young. I have technically lived longer than my father. Sucks just to type that.

My son will be 8 in May, and I'll be 34 then. It makes me choke up a little to think about him being in your shoes if I were to go. Sucks, man.

To the OP, my mother-in-law was 54, which is still young in my book. Breast/brain cancer took her. She was an awesome lady, and it was a tough process to watch her fight valiantly but slowly die. My wife is now the matriarch of her side of the family at only 35.

Lost my best friend just over 2 months ago. It hasn't been easy and not a day goes buy that I don't think about him. As rough as it has been for me though, I can't imagine the pain his parents and wife are dealing with. He had only been married for 2 months.

Brother in law was run over on Magazine Street during Mardi Gras 2006. He was 29 and had only been married to my sister for 10 months.

Somehow the POS was acquitted at his trial years later.


On what grounds?

I know a family that lost two twentysomething children to suicide in less than a year. How do you continue on after something like that?

Yeah, and he posted here.

And it still hurts, and I still miss talking to him.

ETA: frick. I'm in absolute tears now. God dammit but I miss him. Young people just shouldn't die. There should be some kind of rule against it.

I lost my oldest son at 17. He was as good a person as you could ever hope to be. Sometimes,the old saying that only the good die young rings true.

I'm sure your son was a great guy, and would have been a great man. I can't imagine that feeling, but I've been in situations that were similar, in the sense that I've had close friends die at that age.

God bless you, if you believe in him, and thoughts your way if you don't.

I've been a pallbearer too many times for my age, but I can't even imagine going through this.

I know who did it. The cops didn't even so much as ask him about it
