Sorry for posting nothing but condolences...to you all...  |
I went to the wedding of a girl that I grew up with who was a couple of years older..her high school teacher husband shot himself twice in the head and still didn't die until he was on the way to the hospital. Now I had never met him so I do not know the particulars nor care to know really, it is a waste of my time.* However I do know the generalities of motivation as described above.
All you are is stuck with is the pain of it all...
In life you are dealt a set of cards physically and otherwise, as a child you are taught how to play those cards and then you face the vagaries of life with that knowledge.
When someone decides to opt out of facing their adversity, it is not very supportive nor hopeful for me in the face of the adversity that I have to deal with everyday. So I just have to say fk him, and carry on.
On Wednesday I was at a Thrift and this old guy walks up and I get to talking to him. He joined the Navy when he was 17 years old. One day a superior asks if anyone knew how to type and talk shorthand. thinking that it was better than the KP detail he said, that he did. A few weeks later he was shipped out to Pearl Harbor. Several weeks after arriving (12/7/1941) he hears a ruckus, is wondering what it was all about when the Japs dropped a bomb on and blowing up the building across the street from the one he was in. He got down on the floor.. About that time his wife walks up where you could clearly see how much she loved him and said that he was 90 years old and married for 70 years...I asked him if he was scared shytless when the Japs were bombing and he said, "You bet." He and his wife then walked on down the aisle.. Now that is something hopeful and uplifting to hear.
