I wrote that for the theraputic effect. I am unable at this time to speak more than one sentence without the emotions flowing. I can possibly read one page of responses before I have to stop. I will get to all of them eventually. Thank you for your kind messages.
Many of us have differences of opinion with family members on politics, personal values, real or imagined slights or insults with family members or close friends. Take it from me, the emotions you will feel at that funeral will make you deeply regret carrying grudges. Life is too short.
People are different, different values, different ideas on sexuality, different religions, different ways of doing things. It does not make them wrong, just different. Besides, God, Allah, Buddha, the Pope or even your preacher did not proclaim you to be the judge of everyone else. Judge not lest you be judged. Thanks for allowing me to write this.

The OT isn’t all trash. Hope the positivity helped.

Nice message.
And if you don't mind, every time I see the city Spring, TX spelled out like in your avi, it reminds me of Corkscrew BBQ. Love that place.

I cannot fathom what you are going through. mourn your loss, but rejoice in all the time you spent raising a damn good human. it is not easy, nor will it ever be, I suspect. but, know your gave your son all the love and support any 1 person could give.
you have my most sincere condolences. I truly wish all the best for you and yours.

I read it and as a dad, I was filled with emotion. While I kept my thought to myself there, I couldn't the hurt imagine losing my son even 20-30-40 years from now.
The son of one of my wife's former co-workers has CF and it's brutal. He's in his early teens and she basically had to quit work to care for him full time (she home schools him).
Please stay strong and know that you, you son and our family are in our prayers.

Understood brother. My heart breaks for you and your family. No parent should have to bury their child, especially before their time.
But there is nothing to be done after the doing, and all we can hold on to is the good times and memories. Grieve however you feel, there is no shame in it.
Reach out as much as you need.

So sorry for your loss. I am a dad with a one-year old. I hope I never have to have to suffer through this. Stay strong brother.

Parents should never have to bury their children. So very sorry.
Posted on 1/29/24 at 11:00 am to Purplehaze
Didn't hear about this, but my condolences. Can't imagine what you're going through.
My parents went through it and while they were never the same, they did make it and so will you.

I didn’t see it until now. My prayers are with you, bud. I cannot imagine what you’re going through.
Posted on 1/29/24 at 11:02 am to Purplehaze
I hope you and your family are able to find the peace y’all deserve

Lot of love and prayers to you and your family.

Losing a loved one can make you realize how meaningless a lot of other things in life are. It changes your perspective on life. I’m an agnostic but I definitely think there is something more after death although none of us will ever know what it will be.

I do not know you, But something has happened to you to make you a bitter person. You apparently feel that the whole world should share your values. If anyone does not share your values then they must be wrong. I truly pray that you will change your viewpoints and accept that those who do not automatically share your values are contemptible. If you do not then you are going to have a miserable, bitter life

I can't imagine, man. I just hope you keep your head up and take it one day at a time and try to focus on the good times you got to share with your boy. Even though he outlived the doctors' predictions by decades, I imagine that doesn't make it any easier.
Also, as a friend to someone who lost her ~22 year old daughter last year (she had MD I believe), I'll tell you the same thing I told her: It's okay to feel somewhat relieved as well, and that doesn't make you a bad person or a bad parent. It's also okay to try yo enjoy things in life that you haven't gotten to do as a result of taking care of your son. I don't know what your specific routine was with your son but for my friend, caring for her daughter was almost literally a 24/7 job for her. And she felt guilty about having free time after her daughter passed. But she also got to spend more quality time with her other kids and family and got to finally do some things for herself as well.
I hope you can find peace. I'll be thinking about your thread for a while.

Excuse me? I don’t know who Mobile Josh is and I wrote the following. Maybe you meant to reply to someone else

Sorry for you loss, but what does all this have to do with your situation?
This about holding grudges with family members who don't agree with you?

Some people value diddling little kids. Some people value all kinds of depravity and find nothing wrong with it. Blanket statements like "they're not wrong, just different" are an exercise in stupidity, and that mindset is a great plague on this world. But this has nothing to do with the death of your son. For that I am truly sorry. And sorry you brought up the other, instead of just remembering him.
