just got some horrible news from a friend of mine in seattle. her husband died in his sleep last night....some genetic condition in his heart, it just gave out.

he was only 35.

another friend of mine lost his mother last week. just wanted to ask for good thoughts for them both, and a reminder to love every single second you got as well as those around you. tomorrow is guaranteed to nobody.

    damn....
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    When I was single I never ever thought about dying young and if I did I did not care. Now that I am married and have a daughter, I refuse to leave this earth untl she is older and can take care of herself. I have to live in order to take care of her.

    I'm sorry to hear that, and my thoughts and prayers are with them.
    Just goes to show that life should never be taken for granted. None of us know how much time we have on this earth.

    Sorry Sweetie....we lost our nephew two years ago at 16, his heart gave out too. Another close friend of mine lost her sister at 39 to the same thing. So sad when they leave suddenly like that. You are so right...no guarantees...we must live one day at a time, and truly be in the moment. Knowing this is the secret to a happy life.

    thanks guys. yeah i can't even imagine what my friend is going through...the mere thought of it just breaks my heart.

    we all shouldnt' need reminders of how fragile and short life is, we all know it deep down. it's easy to get caught up in the day to day stuff, and especially when something like this happens, it just brings it home bigtime.

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    whoa. That's heavy chiqui. I'm sorry to hear of their losses. That must be esp. devastating to lose your husband like that, so young and so unexpectedly.

    oh man, i did not see this thread. i'm really sorry for your friend's loss, 35 is way too young.

    there was a fellow PJ fan who died earlier this year from a rare heart condition as well. he was probably in his early 30's as well.

    as of late, i've been feeling some severe aching chestpains around the heart area. i'm not even sure what it is or why it's doing that and somewhat afraid to find out. :(

    Sorry to hear that Chiqui.

    These stories scare me, as a 33 year old.

    sending you my good thoughts. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. It does make you value things a bit more. I worked with a woman who was 37 - she went to her son's basketball game after work, went to bed and never woke back up. Very scary.

    thanks guys. i'm sorry others have experienced the same type of thing, losing people that early to something so unexpected.

    i wish i could just fly up to seattle to give her a hug, it sucks being far away (story of my life). she may be coming back with his parents to southern cali, if so then i'm gonna see about flying or driving down just to give her some extra support.
