Official BOTL Consigliere
my dad had a quintuple bypass a couple of weeks ago. he was home from the hospital for a week and doing great. without going into a long narrative, he had come complications come out of nowhere and dies from a serious loss of blookd monday night.
i am completely wrecked. even though he was 66 years old and I am 32, it seems like I have lost him in my childhood. way to early and no real warning since verything was going so well for him. we actually thought this would prolong his life, since the rebuilt heart would be supported by his new diet/exercise program. no warning...basically shocking.
spark up a good one. not just for me and my dad, but for your own.
*if you, like me had one of those non-mushy relationships with your dad...cut that bullshit immediately. if you don't, it will hurt alot later. i can promise you that. call your dads/sons and explain what's happened to me if you need an excuse to get all mushy and tell him how much you love him. seriously, if it's awkward, tell them about this post. whatever it takes...please do it for me. I would like to use this opportunity to help others realize and do stuff that they will greatly benefit from but may not do otherwise.
the worst part is the christmas morning effect. you know how when you're a kid, you wake up and you don't know it's xmas for a few moments. then, when you figure out what's going on, it's greatness in that moment of realization. this is the 100% polar opposite of that and it sucks hard.
thanks...and sorry for the "downer" thread.
