The "Waiting for ROFR" support group thread

[icouldlivethere]

Just got the call. They disconnected his life support. Gotta go.

How sad! That has to be very shocking news for everyone who knew and loved him. I'm so sorry to hear this!

I am so sorry I lost a very good friend when I was 15. I hate to say that it never leaves you. Give your son a big hug from me. I will pray for your family and his as well as all the team.

Just got home. The team all converged on Corry's home. When I got there, there was a sea of people with candles. You couldn't drive down their street because of the cars. His parents came home a short time later.

There are more questions than answers. His Dad was in the house when he put a gun to his temple. He was fine at school today and at practice last night. Something happened with his exgirlfriend after school today.

I just don't know how you, as a parent, ever recover. My son keeps asking "why?" and we can't make sense of something that makes no sense.

I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. There are 50 young men that are hurting very deeply tonite and 2 parents who have a child to burry.

I lost a friend to suicide when we were 17. It is so hard to understand, and so hard to get over. May God bless Laxlad and his teammates - and Corry's family. Prayers are going up for all of them.

(Just got back from two 12-hour days of driving to St. Louis and back for a memorial service for the 5-year-old granddaughter of a close friend. Read multiple pages to catch up and ended up here. Too much sadness for now. I'll get back on tomorrow.)

Am devastated to read this news - my other post can wait for tomorrow - will head for bed and will add your son and his mates to my prayers - and a special prayer that you and laxdad will find the strength to help these kids through the path they must follow now.

Having trouble sleeping. Kyle finally dozed off. As I tucked him in, I couldn't help but think of Cory's parents.

I can't put into words how much it means to us that you all are there. You don't even know us and yet you care and offer support so freely. We can't thank you enough for the prayers. We are relying heavily on our faith right now. I just can't believe it. Pray for his family. I just can't imagine what they are going thru.

The school has already put things into place to have grief counselors there tomorrow. The boys are wearing their black jerseys and putting tape to make them all have Cory's number on them. I am still trying to figure out what I will do about work. Kyle needs to be at school but home is farther away than work and I just don't want to be that far away if he needs me. Greg wasn't due in until midnite tomorrow night and he is flying home in the morning. He'll be here at about 1 pm. We both want to be here when Kyle gets home from school. I guess I will see what tomorrow brings. I think we are still in shock.

Good nite.

O.K. I'm not trying to start something but THE TWINS!!!! Two Championships total 1987 and 1991 what's that 17 years ago. Sox 2004 & 2007 for the last two and then there was a slight 85 year drought but still The Twins, more Championships, you were joking right!!! Sorry, I can't help it.

Ok - I HAD to try and make some claim.....after all we're the ones with the football team that's been to the SuperBowl 4 times and never won once, had one of the highest scoring football teams ever and one of the most prolific kickers ever missed a simple field goal in the NFC championship, and we traded one of the better basketball players to a team that had the same record as MN and now the Timberwolves had one of the worst records and Boston one of the best. Not to mention the Twins players that participated in Boston World Series.

Just trying for a few table scraps from the big guys!

I'm so sorry! My nephew went thru this with a friend also when he was 16 and then lost another very close friend in a car accident just two months later. Sending lots of support to your son and family!

I am so sorry you are all in the middle of this right now... It is so hard to come up with answers. My best friends dad was a pilot and he died in a plane crash 6 months ago on my birthday. He was like my dad. He was my dads best friend too since elementary school. As painful and sad as it was and is, we had a peace because we knew we would see him again someday. I pray for peace over you and your family during this time. And, yes it puts everything into perspective. I hug my dad a little more (he is a private pilot too) everytime I see him. I have hugged my kids more in the last 6 months.

 

[Laxmom]

Morning. Tough night - not much sleep. We really hoped we would wake up to find we dreamt the whole thing. Kyle rode the bus - he wanted to. I wanted to take him. No. Actually I just wanted to hug him and not let go.

Anyway, I want to get back to Disney dreams; my happy place, if only for a little while. So lets have some good news today, guys!! Today is going to be our lucky day for our peeps in waiting. I can feel it.

Good Morning Sunshines!

OK, we haven't had a QOD for a while so I'll throw one out there. What other forums do you subscribe to?

I belong to greytalk ( owners of retired racing or AKC greyhounds ) and the scubaboards.

I'm hoping today turns out to be a great day...

Susan, I really am sorry. We're here for you as this thread has become a great support group for lots of things. We're here for you if you need us.

Cruise Critic and Passporter, but I don't get on them very often. Gee, I wonder why???

Time to get ready for work.

Sending everyone happy thoughts and good wishes for today.......

 

[tammymacb]

Oh, I forgot Cruise Critic. I'm on there too.

 

[Laxmom]

Tug and a yahoo group for Grande Vista owners although I don't go to that one much. I have more posts here since we bought our points than on Tug and I have belonged there for 3 or 4 years. There's just something about the Disboards and this thread.

 

[minniekissedme]

Susan...I can't even begin to think of what to say...


QOTD...Disboards and Disboards only. I only wanted to gain knowledge for our DVC purchase and now look at me...I can multi-quote!

Well, keep in mind that this whole winning thing with the redsox is very, very new. They have broken more hearts in New England over the past 90 years or so because of "The Curse". Generations upon generations had their own little nightmare to deal with: 1918 Redsox sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees so their owner at the time can fund a play "no, no, Nanette" - 1946 - Johnny Pesky's delayed relay throw - 1978 Bucky (&%#*@) Dent - 1986 Bill Buckner - 2003 Aaron Boone. Then there are a lot of other little horrors thrown in 1948, 1949, 1967, 1972, 1975, 1988, 1990 and 1999 just to name a few years with issues. So believe me right now is a great time to be a Boston sports fan but I can definitely relate to those places that are struggling.

Hi Tammy...I saw again yesterday that you were bored...take up golf! You can play everyday! That will keep you from spending more money on points, too!

 

[tammymacb]

I almost did buy points yesterday....backed off at the last minute!

I've never played golf. MY DH likes it and plays it a lot ( usually on the WII these days )
