Kramer 0 #1 November 29, 2004 This guy I know who lived in my best friend's dorm died on his way home a couple days ago for Thanksgiving. We weren't really "friends" or anything, but we'd say hi to each other whenever we passed on campus or whatever. It's just weird when stuff like that happens. Like, both of us did the exact same thing last Wednesday. We got in our cars, and we drove home to be with our families for Thanksgiving. He died, I didn't. Sometimes I just wonder why it had to be him and not me... ya know what I mean? I dunno... The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

bigway 4 #2 November 29, 2004 sorry to hear that, it sucks big time hearing people die. QuoteSometimes I just wonder why it had to be him and not me. because he crashed or someone crashed into them and you didn't? That might answer that question .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

jumpinjackflash 0 #3 November 29, 2004 I've felt that way quite alot this year. I look at Eric and it just amazes me that he is sitting beside me, either on the way to the grocery store, or wherever... Whenever I hear of a parent that lost a child to suicide, and didn't get to them in time to save them, I wonder what happened that I did? It blows your mind. I don't know, but I think, were supposed to learn something, no matter what "end" of the deal were on, or the outcome. It's just odd when something so life changing occurrs. I always fear that I won't learn what I'm supposed to. I know this, at the most simplest form, you recognize something, so? Roll with it. If you didn't die, then do something about it, make a difference somewhere, somehow... THat's my thought anyway. peace, jjfIt's a gas, gas, gas...

lawrocket 3 #4 November 29, 2004 It's a strange thing. Unfortunately, it's part and parcel to life. If, however, you want to do something better about it, how about trying to get in touch with the guy's family, if possible, to see what can be done to help. My wife is hotter than your wife.

bob.dino 1 #5 November 29, 2004 Quotehow about trying to get in touch with the guy's family Even if it's just to say "Hey, he was a nice guy. We'll miss him." That'd mean a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,146 #6 November 29, 2004 Back in October five people I know (knew) died. One from MS, another from cancer, one from heart attack, one suicide after a row with his wife, and one from a lung problem. Only one of them was over 60. Death and taxes - the only certainties.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #8 November 29, 2004 It's a sad thing. His poor parents must be crushed. My wife and I have 4 little junior skydivers, so I can barely imagine what they are going through. I like the idea of a card or note to the parents, if you can. It does mean a lot. Makes you want to not take your friends for granted, something that can sometimes be all to easy to do. None of us know how much time we have left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
