One of my best friends died today
 
Yesterday One of my best and long time friends was in a serious wreck and he died today. I've known him for 20 years. He was 27. His family is taking it really hard, his mom's birthday is today:( . He was following a car home yesterday evening when it made a sudden stop in front of him. He went to swerve out of the way when the driver then turned the car directly in his path. He hit the car in the side. The car behind him ran right into him. He was on his motorcycle so it was worse than what it could have been in a car but then again at 60mph it probably wouldn't have mad that much of a difference. He was a fellow Mustang enthusiast. He left behind a 3 1/2 year old son. Sorry to dump on you guys. This has been real hard on me. I grew up with him, he was more like a brother than a friend. I won't be online much, visitation is tomorrow and the funeral is Saturday. And I'm in the middle of moving. I was going to call him and let him know I was finally moving back to our home town where he still lived.:( :( Like I said sorry to dump on you guys I just need to get this off my chest.

Thanks for all your replies guys a gals. I wish I could say it is getting better but it just seems to be getting worse. The same day that Scott died my friend Will's dad died. Then that night some a**hole broke into my new house. I'm not even moved in yet. Now my fiance is in the hospital due to complications from an outpatient surgery she had last week. I think I am gonna need some prozac before all this is over.

Sometimes the valleys in life are like potholes and sometimes they just keep growing until they look more like the Grand freekin Canyon. Hang in there bud, it will get better ... sometimes it doesn't seem like it will but it will. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, stay close to his family they will need your support.
Give yourself some time, then throw your shoulders back, lift your head up, get mad dog mean :mad:
then start climbing out of that hole and don't stop for nothin till its behind you.

1969Mach1 09-08-2002 10:40 PM

That is really rough guy, I'm sorry to hear about that. It's a hard time your going to go threw, but I wish you the best of luck threw these hard times.

Best Wishes,
§am.

Man, I hate to hear crap like this. Keep your spirits up. Life is hard sometimes. Things like this really make you realize what is valuable and what is replaceable.

Take Care buddy,

Skyler

Sorry I haven't been around MW for a while and just saw this. I am very sorry to hear about your friend. I can't even begin to imagine what you and his family are going through. You will all be in my prayers.

Out of curiosity, was the car he hit a Suburban or suv? I hate to ask you for any details, but I heard about a rider being killed after hitting a Suburban. Btw, I am back in Columbia for school again, so that is how I heard.

Sry about your friend. My best friend since the 3rd grade which was in 1977 fell asleep comeing home from work early in the morning in 1997 and flipped his car and didnt make it. I cant say I know how you feel, but have a good idea. Again sry to hear that.

Sorry about your friend, and everything else. I have never lost a close friend, but I know people who have. When you are down, it seems like everything wants to kick you. Hang in there, just remember the good times with your friend and be thankful you had the time together.

I'm sorry to hear that. My mom died 4 years ago. I know it's hard. It does get better with time. I don't know if you believe in God, but there's a chapter in the Bible called JOB. The dude goes through all kinds of sh#$ and he still kept his faith. Try reading it if you get a chance. It helped me when I thought I was the only one with the world crashing down on me. We'll pray for you. Take care.

I remember when this thread was first posted. I stayed away from these depressing threads because of a death in my family. Please don't reharsh these kind of threads.

By all means, reharsh the bathroom grafitti kind. :)
