Ah Gloop, I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts and prayers. You've had a lot to deal with.

Gloop, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and my prayers are with his immediate and extended families. I have always felt uneasy walking over the bridges that span the Chicago River, particularly the one on Michigan Avenue. In my opinion, the city has not done enough to make them accident proof.

You will get through this with a greater appreciation for the ones who are left. Don't hesitate to talk to them, and love them and ask them all of the questions you've been meaning to ask. I know...........I really, really know what it's like.

Oh damn. Losing a friend hurts a lot more than you think it will. When it finally happens, it's a hard fall. I'm sorry to hear about your losses. Way too many for anyone all at once. Take care of yourself, my friend.

Gloop, so sorry to hear of your loss and yes, his loss is way too soon at his young age. We are at the age where we have lost many very good friends and all of our groomsmen who were in our wedding. We still felt it was way too soon too, but that is probably more normal for us at our age than you. Just today after reading of your loss, I was thinking about notes I should leave for my family in case of my unexpected demise and did write down those I would want to know. Just want to be prepared in any event and glad I did that. There is so much they need to know about what I take care of and can help their Dad find files he would need. I hate to sound gruesome and say, "Here today and gone tomorrow", but that is so true of so many we have known. My back is still having days of discomfort and getting impatient with my recovery even though I was told it might be longer than I wanted it to be. One thing I know for sure is that my bone density is in good shape after this bad fall. I had a test about a year and a half ago and was put on Actonel for bone growth. It bothered me internally and I stopped taking it and know I don't need it now as I had no fractures or breaks to deal with. What a blessing for me, I know, but the old back needs to mend completely so it can't slow me down. Many of our friends were shocked that nothing was broken as I am a tiny thin person with not much meat on my bones for cushioning a fall like this.....<gg> God had to be looking after me and kept me from breaking my back or my hips. Seems I have used three of my nine Cat lives so far after other near death experiences. Thank you God!
