the grass is always greener but good for you guys with kids and stability, the tan flavor of the week, actually a smart really sweet girl
We've got a beeb member whose son has left for the military and he's feeling a bit down as he has mentioned from the get-go. Depression is no joke............why don't you just shut up Mark151 .
Nothing is a better cure for depression than tropical islands, a rum drink and tan 20 something year old girls but if you are offended I'll step back
Your attention whoring is lame on a good day but on a day when a guy is down it's really fuckin disrespectful.
I said sorry, this isn't Oprah, Dr. Phil, or DR. OZ its a motorcycle racing forum and I officially apologize to the op who I had no intention of making him feel bad, it's just dumb jokes with rum and cokes
brex, my kid was in the same Airborne class as your son-in-law, 2nd plt, 3rd squad/stick. He is being stationed at Ft. Bragg. It's hard when they go away. My boy has always been my hunting and fishing buddy so this hunting season has been odd not having him around. He has been away before playing travel hockey but we could call him or know we could go see him anytime. The army keeps contact limited for a reason art of the process but the limited contact really puts a different spin on it. We didn't hear from him for over 3 weeks. My wife was about to stroke out towards the end. I would just find more stuff to do to keep my mind off it. Certainly harder to do in the evening. Know they are keeping him plenty busy and he will to do some cool stuff like shoot machine guns and throw grenades.
So to get this strait so I understand, you don't like Tropical Caribbean islands, tasty rum drinks, and tan girls in Bikinis, And I'm the one not thinking right???
Plus one on keeping yourself busy/distracted. A flyer idea? Jot down a list of reminiscences you have about your experience with him, being his father, your relationship. Whatever comes to mind, the serious, the trivial, the silly, the scary, the worrisome, the funny, from when he was born until now. No editing, whatever comes to mind. Then choose one to develop first. Think about that particular recollection a bit, what it was, what you were doing, what happened, who said and did what, how you felt about yourself and him, what you observed, why you remember it. Jot down those words/phrases on list. After marinating in the list for awhile, organizing your thoughts, and having a clear idea of what you wish to convey, write it in prose form. One, two, three paragraphs. If you're happy, move onto the next recollection, if not, edit. I think such an exercise might help you to feel close to him, which is what you're missing, and when you're done, you will have given him a written record of how much he is loved. P.S. Yes, you can write, I scrolled through your prior posts.
Seeing some pics of him doing the team building exercises was cool. Then yesterday I see pics of him coming out of the gas chamber. Lol. Talk about some funny faces. I'm doing better seeing a photo of him smiling while doing team building.
Damn Hoss........this choked me up,ain't gonna lie. Keep hanging in there like you're doing. Im going to be an absolute mess when my youngest daughter leaves in a couple years. She's been my drummer/weightlifting/motorcycle sidekick since she was born. Jeez......now its all waterworks here. Thank you! to you and your Son
Do you have any concept of respect? Your assholism knows no bounds. maybe the mods can change your name to Asshole.
