I'm down; a Cardinal series game would be awesome if it's open. I know the Giants series is too short of notice probably but that would be epic.
we could do the 7th against the giants if that worked for everyone. i will be in costa rica the 10th -19th. the reds series starts too early the following week. this month is going to be a blur and if we do the 28th i need a little help moving shit around cause i have 29th and 30th booked. 30th is my moms 90th bday.
90? That's awesome. Long long life! I'm almost certainly available for the 7th. That's 4 days though so people will have to sack up quick
if theres enough agreement i don't mind doing both. thanks for the well wish but you know i feel guilty at the same time TB. like its not fair i get to know her so long and you lost your mom so young. thats really fucking w me right now.
Nah, it's totally fair. Everyone gets dealt a different hand. I'm happy you've got to keep your mom so long. It's awesome. Nobody deserves to be compensated for other people's fortunes/misfortunes. Everyone's life works out different. I've still got great people in my life. I think losing my mom screwed me up a lot. I didn't start getting into trouble or acting out or anything like that, but I repressed a lot of emotions. Just spent 3 years trying to forget about the pain instead of actually dealing with it. I've avoided pictures of my mom for far too long. That's not healthy. I've woken up some days not even wanting to get up, because of nightmares I can't begin to explain. I can remember exactly when I found out. 11:48 AM Thanksgiving. It's crazy because I had a strange feeling the last time I saw her. Like I knew something wasn't right. But she was completely healthy and happy so idk why. I selfishly am happy she was taken abruptly, as I didn't have to see her suffer or be ill. My best friend lost his mom to stomach caner less than 2 years later. Somebody always has it worse. But it changed me no doubt. It's affected my own relationships with girls I have been with for the worse. I cannot pin point why. Anyways, I never feel jealous of others with living mothers at all. Genuinely happy for them. And I am seriously stoked on the 90th B-Day.
As for the Lair, I'm down for the 7th. If that doesn't work for everyone else, I'm down for the next one. Weekends generally work always for me.
I don't want to make this seem like a pity party or anything but I am truly sorry to learn about your mom TB.
Thanks man. Appreciate it. I don't want a pity party though! Diablo has always been supportive of that situation, and it's not unnoticed Devil. I'm grateful for the love and support, always. With that said, this isn't the ThinkBlue special! That's going on 4 years now and I'm a big boy. Let's talk Lair! Really appreciate it though, again.
Ah...well the 7th eh? I can't go either. I've used up my time off last week for awhile and have to work Friday nights.
Lost my Mom a couple years ago too TB Kinda kept it to myself; think only Diablo and a couple of others know My Mom was battling an illness... bottom line -- there is no good/better way to lose your Mom either way hurts there's a hole in my heart and it will never go away but you know what? It shouldn't and, to be honest, I'm glad it won't I can't say I repressed my feelings, but I did try to ignore them but I finally realized and accepted that my Mom wouldn't want me to be miserable -- that she would want me to be happy and remember all the good times I (obviously) didn't know you're Mom TB, but I'm guessing she would feel the same way Heck, they're probably sitting next to one another looking down and watching us Don't be sad bro; be happy we had such great Moms hope this helps a bit bro
My mother lost a 10 year fight with Parkinson's 2+ years ago. It was brutal at the end. My father dropped dead from a stroke last December and I haven't been the same since. Like I have been ratcheted into the front car of the roller coaster with no one left in front of me...
Well said. So Sorry for your loss. Very much. I don't know how to put into words how I hope you don't hurt too often, and are able to heal. I think it's something we always fear will happen, and when it does, it's hard to believe. And even though we'll never get "over it" we can certainly feel better about it all. But hey, like you said, she's probably looking down at you...scratching her head at your Photoshop projects lol Again, appreciate the love, but not seeking any sort of sympathy. I just said I was happy for Diablo's mom's 90th, and it kinda just got brought up. I'm fine, not looking to talk about any of it, alothugh I'm grateful people care. I extend my condolences to you as well, as your mom obviously raised someone I respect a lot and makes me laugh every day of the year, no matter what kind of mood I am in. So sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you. Sincerely. That's a lot to deal with and I imagine a lot you probably had to take responsibility for during it all. Idk if you were able to have it all appropriately sink in, but I hope you feel better soon and find a way to feel like the dame ol' Darth again.
