Man GK...I'm sorry. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.

Now me.

I just heard that a man I've known most my life, my 4th grade Sunday school teacher, and practically my 3rd grandfather whose cancer was in remission has come back, and it's in his lungs. They say he's he's waning fast, not sure if it's the cancer or his spirits, but please remember him and his family right now.

Gk, my deepest condolences to you and yours. Same thing goes for Jester.

Damn it. I'm so sorry, GK.

And for you too, Jester. You've gone through a lot of tough times lately.

Damn. I really, REALLY, hate it when great people have to suffer.

I'm so sorry, guys. I wish I could turn it all around, because it sure would make me feel better.

*sighs* Life is pain. Pain is love. Love is death. Death is life.

Heck of a cycle, isn't it?

I hope we all get through our struggles, and one of the ways we can accomplish that is by sticking together. You guys definitely helped me through my darker days (which are coming back), and I wish to do the same.

Sirry I couldn't bring myself to comment before, but I didn't know what to say without sounding insincere or somewhat disrespectful. Since my foot's going in my mouth one way or another, I'll go with the possibly disrespectful, misplaced humor condolence. Next time I should meet with fate, I'll give her a good backhanded bitch-slap for being so cruel to you. You don't deserve such harsh treatment.

Sure thing. Is this another out-of-reach friend/relative?

Right. Okay.

I was going to post something long and overly verbose about why I haven't been around for a few weeks, but seeing as it's been over an hour, and I'm still composing it, and I'm not even halfway done, I'll just get to the main points:
  • I've been pretty listless and depressed for (at least) the last five years.
  • No one (in my family) seems to have noticed.
  • Since no one noticed, I resolved to sort my life out by myself.

I was doing okay in January. It's been a f*cked up February. Some catastrophic events:
  • My father passed away on the 2nd.
  • My uncle (aunt's husband) passed away on the 13th. We just buried him today.

I've gone back to square one. Scratch that, I'm at -5000 at this point. I feel numb and empty (which is rather funny, as those words imply not feeling anything), and I feel myself going to a very dark place. I know it's being exacerbated by the fact that I've been surrounded by death for pretty much the last month, but I can't stop myself going there. I'm not coping as well as everyone seems to think. Help please.

And I'm sorry to hear about your difficult situations, GK and Jester. Looks like it's been a bad month all around...

Nope, he is in fact right here...which means I can do something for him if the need presents itself.

And Kunoichi_Haruko, I'll keep you in my prayers as well.

What a wonderful Valentine's gift. How charitable your family must be! At least some joy could sprout from this tragedy.

And Kunoichi, I stand with Raven in his offer. Death can be difficult to deal with. I'm sure things will turn out for the best.

Yeah, at least it can be used to save someone else's life.

Sorry, homie.
