Nick in RaChaCha Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 As many of you know my family is going through a rough time right now. My wife's cousin's baby (named Mera) has cancer. (see other thread for details because I can't type it again) My wife and her cousin are the same age... and both have baby girls 4 months apart in age. My wife and I look at her cousin and see our selves in so many ways. Mera's mother was talking to my wife about what has happened to her little girl and said the following: "In the last two years, every now and then I would ask myself, 'What whould I do if something happened to Mera... something horrible.' I guess I thought that if I would let myself think about it then it would never happen." Mera's parents are showing great courage and an even greater faith that things will get better.

It's called "Off the Wall" for a reason. Let him deal with his issue in his way. If you don't like it, move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 As a father of 3, I have asked myself the same question for the past 17 years. Most never have to experience their worst nightmare. Prayers continue for Mera, her parents and yourself Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick in RaChaCha Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 So how many threads do you plan to start about the same topic? Just curious. 578650[/snapback] As many as it takes. This is very hard for me... My daughter and I played with Mera during Christmas, we sang songs, and we colored and watched Dora the Explorer 15 or 20 times. All things I took for granted... And I would do anything to be able to do them with her next year. If SDS or any of the mods tell me to cool it I will. But this board has been a extended family for a lot of us... We laugh, fight, cry and try to lose weight together. And sometimes some of us need some kind words to get through the day. No hard feelings, but feel free not to read my threads.

It's a database entry. How could anyone with any feeling even think that kind of thing? If you feel the need to police, go get rid of all of the negative say-the-same-thing-over-and-over wieners on the main board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're so frustrated about multiple threads referring to one item, why don't you take it out on the dozens of "the football team stinks" threads currently clogging up TSW. I don't know you Nick, but I hope you make it through this okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that gets me is that your post sat there for over an hour with a few hits and zero responses. Sorry man, but I saw it and posted the first thing that came to my mind, and BAM, here come the 'higher ground' posts almost immediately. Beerball was the only one to respond to the spirit of your post, the others were just taking shots at me for kicks I guess. I guess they are just better men than me... not really, because Pete is a loser. But whatever. It's not like I'm not pulling for Mera or anything, I was just kind of curious as to where all of this was going. You're right though, don't take your kids for granted. Hell, I'd take it a few steps further to say that you shouldn't take anyone in you life for granted, beit a parent, friend, spouse, relative, child, etc. Out of respect, I'm out of your threads. Sorry and best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
