They say bad things come in threes. Third thing just arrived.

A neighbor/family friend passed away after a battle with cancer last week. She was a mother of three, and was like a second mother for my brother. She was such a good person.

Too much loss and suffering, this week.

I'm sorry, Choco. Such a hard week ... these things seem to happen close together. I hope you are able to take the time you need to grieve. With a small child, I know how hard that is. Try to carve out some quiet time.

My mom is sick. We don't have all the details yet but I am honestly sure that the only thing that's holding me up is promising I would be strong for her. I'm not doing well. I've never known a better woman than my mom, or a better man than my dad, or better family all around. This isn't about me. I know this. I'm helpless. I know this.

If I let go, if I let this out, I may not come back from it. So I am doing everything I can.

I don't want pity or even sympathy...it all seems so goddam irrelevent. Like how in the fuck is the world still even fucking spinning? Nothing else, not one other thing, matters on earth.

If promising to be strong for her is what keeps you going, then that's what you should focus on. She would not want you to be a wreck, so don't be one, for her sake.

Thanks Clodfobble. I know you are right. I am trying to be strong for how strong my parents have always been for me.

Not able to post new thread. It says new users are not allowed to do so until they are confirmed not to be spam. Well, I am not new, though this ID is new
Guess, I am back after all those years and nothing much has seemingly changed. I will search my lovely posts and put them back

I thought I must have been one heck of a brainy guy here and that you people must have missed me a tons. But then I know that's just like poking insult at cellar-ites.
Was just loafering around the net and popped this link at random. Memories came flooding back!

Maybe it was a bit premature, but this dude was clearly a troll, and I'm pretty sure he's MysticRhythm who Bruce banned years ago.

Today I am upset that my oil drain plug was installed so tight that I am unable to remove it with a socket and ratchet.

My brain still doesn't work, post-chemo. I have to use all sorts of coping mechanisms to remember everything I have to do/take with me in the morning/do before or after work. It terrifies me. I don't know what type of work to go for next year, or even if I'll be able to work.

And my older sister calls to moan about how badly off our parents are. I know, I know. I'm visiting my father at the end of this month and my mother, I don't know when. None of my sibs ever bother. Older sis recently made the effort for the first time in ten years, so now she's all in a tiz. I've seen both of the 'rents far, far more. But her moaning is upsetting.

I will be up at 3 am for the next two or three days, to get my academic work done. These days, a little voice in the back of my mind asks, why? I'll probably have mets show up on my July scan. Then I'll wonder why I did all of this.
