Death came knockin'
By hobo

Early Saturday morning I received a phone call notifying me my mother had passed away during the night. My mother had terminal cancer and had been battling this terrible disease for many months. She had beat cancer once before and was one month short of five years in remission when the cancer returned in her bones. I was saddened by the loss of my mom but was also relieved she was no longer suffering.

My mother was a beautiful person and loved by all that met her and will be missed. My biggest regret is that my boys will not have their Grandmother in their lives as they reach achievments and milestones in their lives.

Condolences dude.

Sad day dude. My Ma isn't well. This is hard for me to read because I don't want to let her go. Death is a part of life and all that... but fuck.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I offer my tears.

Tell your kids lots of stories about her, keep her alive in memory. Sorry to hear about this, condolonces.

Hobo,

My condolences on your loss. Your Mom will live on within you and what you pass on to your children. Remember her every year, particularly on her birthday, and have your children participate in a small ceremony in your home, such as lighting a candle or telling stories about her when you were younger.

BDiW

I lost my brother at 31 to brain cancer, not tryin to one up, but i get it. it gets harder later for awhile, but then it settles in. Lost my dad to liver cancer to about 5 yrs ago. I'll be soon given history. Hang in there, take care of who is left

Condolences.

I once did a tandem parachute jump. I was scared shitless for about 20 seconds, afterwhich the dude who had the chute that i was attached to pried my fingers from the frame of the doorway. In that on split second of commitment and acceptance that i was going to hand everything to fate and tumble into what i felt at the time could be my last breaths, i had the most liberating and at the same time calming feeling have ever experienced. Thats what i think death is like. I think it really is the most beautiful part of life - its the completion.

your mother will live in and guide your son's lives and milestones through you.

With you, bro.

I've been there too (my dad's gone eight years now). As merciful as the end might have been for her, there is a raw pain that one feels at the loss of a parent--a loss not quite like any other. Believe me, it gets easier with time, but for now, let your emotions run the board. As much as anything else, what you're feeling now is a testament to her love and the influence she had on your life. It's Humanity 101. Let it flow, and know that others are thinking about you.

three in a row? what the fuck is the matter with you guys? everyone else has something nice to say, and instead of thinking of something, you just post some "funny" images instead? i don't get it. haven't you ever had someone close to you die? it's a difficult time. i'm sure he's thinking a lot of things right now, and you're not really contributing to his healing process. i mean it's one thing to laugh at a national tragedy, but this is one man's tragedy, and he's one of us. i thought some of you counted him as a friend. it sure doesn't seem like it.

i just don't understand the callousness. yes, death happens, and yes, it's a natural part of life, but not a funny part of life. there are some things you just don't make fun of, whether here, on linkswarm, or elsewhere. i guess some of you haven't grown up yet and don't know what that means. it means that there is a time and place.

this is not the time nor is it the place. this is a man's journal. he posted this without any humor in the post, without irony. it was something personal he wanted here for all of us to share in. an italian american is dead, and all you can think of is super mario? or qb cat? well...qb cat is hilarious, yes, but in this case, it is a symbol of failure. failure to engage the reader with anything meaningful. oh sorry i guess i forgot, vasudeva directs us all here, including how we mourn.

this is all foreign to me. are you all foreigners? please, spare me from your cold-bloodedness. you're all as cold as ice. you're willing to sacrifice our love. you never take advice. some day you'll pay the price, i know.

i've seen it before. it happens all the time. you're closing the door to leave the world behind, you're digging for gold, you're throwing away, a fortune in feelings

someday you'll pay.


jwalker       12-13-2007, 01:17 am
that's rough, hobo. cancer is a mean mericless thing; but you are lucky to have good memories of her. that is a tribute to her life. and so are you. hang in there.


lilbabypissmouth       12-15-2007, 03:02 pm
Bobo:

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. You and yours are in my thoughts.

Love,

Lbeep


Lownotes       12-15-2007, 04:34 pm
Sorry to hear that.


tank       12-19-2007, 09:07 pm
Hobo -

Sorry to hear the news...I stopped in ECMC a couple weeks ago a they told me yer Mom was bad again - You and the family are in our thoughts - hang in there.

-Tank -n- Heet

Unfortunately for Hobo, the likes of Vas, LK, and a few others are afflicted by sociopath disassociated heartless syndrome, which if one reads up on this syndrome, one would learn that it affects only men, and of those men, they lustfully enjoy secretive gay sex with Chinese and Indian men, which usually expresses itself in Gloryhole action, secretly pleasing the slight yellow and light brown pole. So, instead of calling them out for their callousness, have concern for their plight. Pray that they don't catch the aids cold.

That is perhaps the longest run on, I have ever put out on the internets.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to you all.


Acidburn       12-20-2007, 09:50 am
Sorry to hear of your loss. My mammy dropped dead like a bag of rocks from a massive heart atack. Guess I got lucky in a sick way to not see her suffer. Condolances dude.


coknurmowth       12-20-2007, 04:37 pm
Sorry to hear of your loss man, I lost my mother 3 years ago..one night, her heart just stopped and she was gone. It was really hard for me to go on after that, but like some others have said, she will live on in you and the other people that she touched. My heart goes out to you and your family.

This is awesome.

This is the first pornsite I've found in years that I'd actually advertise to swarmers. When you first load it up, it looks just like every crappy scam site out there, except that it's real. It's huge, it's updated constantly, there's no spam, no popups, and no bullshit -- and it's completely free. When you sign up through that link above and respond to the confirmation email, I make a bit of loose change.

See what other swarmers have to say about it. People love this place, so I feel fine about sending you there and am confident you will enjoy boners.
