Sorry I've been away from the board a while. My mom just didn't wake up on 3/18 (asthma attack) and died at age 57. That kind of thing really gives you pause and also makes for some busy times in your life. I guess things are supposed to be business as usual now, so I'm checking back in. Did I miss anything on this site? Let me know.

Utilize your friends...heck, even us fools on this board.

I'm so sorry to hear that KS. You seem like a great guy so I imagine you had an awesome mom that was partly responsible for the adult you have become.(aside from the red head and pregnant stripper of course) I would insert the proper emoticon here but I'm having trouble finding it on this site.
I know you have a brother. I hope he is coping OK. Are you close to your family distance wise? Hopefully you're not too far away.
Forget the 'business as usual' stuff. That may work in the corporate world but this is your family.
IMO you haven't missed anything. That's not true. Gumby has knocked up his wife and Everhawk had his own forum for a day or two before he was banned.
Take care of yourself KS. Take the time you need to grieve and reflect on the past. God Bless you and your family.

Very sorry KS. Losing a parent is one of the toughest things in life. Of course we know it will happen eventually, but that doesn't make it any easier. And she was very young, so that's doubly tough.
I lost my Dad of a sudden stroke when he was 49 (which was about 12 years ago). People will tell you time makes it easier, but I'm not sure that's entirely true. I think time works like a filter - it takes most of the bad memories and leaves the happier times. So as time goes by, hopefully you think more of the time you had together and less about the painful stuff.
Anyway, please accept my deepest sympathies. Remember your friends here at the Wasteland are here to try and lighten the load when you're weary.

Thanks for the nice words. I mostly think I'm doing fine, but it's going to be very different. Now I have a dad that is kind of hopeless (we have to show him how to cook now) and a couple younger brothers (one handicapped) to check up on. My dad has been very task oriented so far, but he and I have a lot to do to get up to speed on my brother's care needs. I have hung out with him most days this week, but I don't think I'll be able to do that forever. My mother was great, and we had a wonderful relationship. The whole family gets along fine. That certainly doesn't mean there aren't going to be trying times ahead.
I saw the ever forum. There were a lot of topics there. How did he get banned on a censorship free board?

KS, sorry to hear about your mother. I lost mine in 98' to ovarian cancer. It never gets easier.
I guess Ever was being to big a pain in the ass even for this board. He called someones mom or wife a nasty name or some shit.

I'm sorry about your loss KS. My heart is with you.
Sorry if this rambles... but you're at the stumbling first stages of a new part of your life. The realities as you knew them- of a few weeks ago, are gone. The foreign blur that has become the your life's new path- will regain its focus, and you will hopefully begin to see things with the clarity you once enjoyed.
No matter how unsteady you may feel, don't appear to be continually so to those around you - as the strength is viral, and will feed others... and quickly come back to you. Raising you all up, or bringing you all down.
If you ever need unabashed support, visit here. Beyond us giving you our love, you will quickly remember that there truly is a "lighter side" to things.

As everyone else has said KS, thoughts and prayers. I've been fortunate enough not to experience the loss of a parent, and I can only imagine the pain you're going through. If there's anything any of us can do, just let us know.

Sorry for your loss. 57 is too young (not that there's ever a right time). Hope everything is otherwise alright.

My computer has been crashed, so I'm not sure what you've missed (only get to troll around during the weeks).
Condolonces on the loss of your mother. Lost my father about a year and a half ago... sure isn't easy. Very sorry to hear about your loss, but glad your back. Hopefully the banter of the board can help keep your spirits up!
