wow, guys i have perhaps the most fucked up day of my life!
short of the day when i nearly died in a car accident.
one of my best friends had a baby, well his wife did.......1st one.
congrats, it was a very happy time.
so we had the bris (jewish thing where they circumsize the little fucker)
big party....etc.
i'm home later on after a date.....
going out to meet my buddy for a drink....he calls me and tells me that harry was in a bad car accident....
now i'm thinking its my buddy harry, NOT one of my best freinds younger brothers....
turns out it was his 16 yr old brother!
lost control of the car....slammed into the middle wall on the interstate, went head 1st thru the windshield.
its the saddest thing in the world to see your friends family watching their family member, their son, their brother dying.
there was nothing anyone could do..... no amount off money could save that poor kid.
tubes coming out, blood in the tubes....the kid was messed up.....brain dead but the heart was still pumping.....then.......just slowed down and he was gone.
do you have any idea what thats like?
i sat there for 5 + hours till 4:30 am.....the poor kid was on life support......
the saddest thing in the world to watch a father seeing his son die......or a mother in horror as her sons heart is slowing down to flatline.....
wow, seriously that was a HUGE reality check.
the reason i'm posting this is 2 fold.
1. please guys, wear your seatbelts.
2. enjoy the time you have here....cause you never know when its gonna end!
i was very lucky in my car acccient...i flipped 7 times and was ejected......i should be dead. seriously, but for some reason I'm not....and i'm thankul for that every day.
I learned to make the most of every day cause you never know when something will happen and its all taken from you.
Make the most of the time you have, and please, buckle up.

i could see his eyes rolled back, he was already brain dead......that sight killed me.

i love designing....
enjoy every day.
There is NO tomorrow!

you and your friend's family will be in my prayers. may you be blessed with the strength and courage to get through these tuff times.

The family will have their son back. One day, it'll be a bit of a painful wait. But one day, one day, all that pain and all that suffering will just melt away. That'll be the day their son comes back to them. They won't even think of seeing him there in that hospital bed as he slowly slipped away.
They'll look ahead to the future, with much to look forward too and their beautiful son back in their arms.
This is what I believe. I know it might sound absurd. But I have my beliefs firmly based in the idea that one day, the pain and suffering we've grown so used to will no longer be there.

Wow...only thing I have to say about that
- jevad0
thats a nice thought Gilt...but life is pain.
- Gilt0010
only for now jevad...
- jevad0
ah i see what you mean...one can hope...
- Gilt0010
Yeah, my faith is pretty deeply instilled because I really see it as the only option. No man on Earth is going to save me, he's every bit as imperfect as I am. Together we can 'help' each other, but help doesn't equal a problem solved.
I just hate seeing people suffer all over the earth. I hate people being told that their children are dead because God "needed another angel". Why in the world would God need some puny human? He doesn't NEED humans in any way shape or form.
I'm looking forward to the day that the suffering is all over...

Gilt...what u say is true....I belive the same way.

i feel for the loss of the family, it's powerful and human, but
"He doesn't NEED humans in any way shape or form."
what would "he" NEED anything for....why do we personify a CEO in the afterlife? The 'essence' of this young man transcends all personifications....

My eldest brother commited suicide about ten years ago and it was the first time Id known anyone close to me die. It was extremley diificult and confusing, it still is.
I believe the pain never goes you just learn to live with it. The only positive thing which comes out of such a mess, is realising just how lucky we are....sounds cheesy but its true.

man was not really created to die...So natural death is one of the most difficult thing to deal with...but there is hope. The bible talks about a time when there will be a resuraction. So as Gilt001 said...there will be a time when we'llbe reunited with loved ones.

WORD!ive been into some badass accidents myself, always the same scenario, some fuck thats not paying attention and gets on the highway, try to avoid a collision making it only worse slamming into something uncontrollably, shit.
it does something to your head. i should have been dead at least two times but im here.
the accident will happen 1000 times again in your head the following days, you'll feel the slide, the bang and the adrenaline... and the joy youre still around. live it up man!you were given some more time to invest in the little ones : )
best to you,
dave
