Yeah I have noticed that she doesn't want to seem to come forward and talk. Maybe she is too busy with her so called Christmas Wedding. Yeah I read that post. I can't believe she is being a chicken well she better get this through her headwhen she gets married, A BASH IN THE HEAD TO GET SOME COMMON SENSE KNOCKED INTO HER. I swear some people on the internet or so f-ed up. Pardon the mouth. __________________

I was angry/disappointed by this as well, initially. However, I have let go of this as being angry/upset/embarrased about it will do nothing but hurt me in the long run. It is better to add this to the list of "learning events" one goes through in life.
Besides that, I got word this week that my oldest brother will have to go in for a biopsy next month to check for Cancer. News like that definitely puts things in perspective. I was so shaken by receiving this news yesterday that I guess I seemed awful distant at work. The lady I work with had her Dad pass away just a couple of weeks ago, and returned to work at the end of last week. I have been doing my best to offer her support during this difficult time for her, and she could tell something was bothering me yesterday.
Well, with everything she's been through I did not want to bother her with it. So, I just told her I had some family issues to come up that had me distracted. Well, this lady is very tenacious, and would not let it go at that. She had us go to a conference room to talk, and I told her that I did not want to bother her with my problems with everything she had going on. She responded by saying I could not go around keeping all this bottled up inside because it would eat me up.
Well, for better or worse I told her what was going on, and she pulled me into a hug. Now, my Dad raised me with the understanding that men are not supposed to cry, and God bless him for instilling that in me because it was all I could do at that point to remain steadfast. My friend kept telling me she was so sorry. It was amazing what a wellspring of support she was at a time when I felt like she needed support. I guess I underestimated how strong she really is. Don't get me wrong, I always thought she was strong, heck she plays rollerderby for fun!!!
Sorry for the long note but I thought it illustrated the point of how everything is relative in the scheme of things. __________________

First off, Real Men cry. Nothing wrong with allowing emotion to flow. It's healthy and important. Sometime a good release is the best thing you can do.
Most importantly though,
Dave, I'm truly sorry to hear of this heart wrenching news. I'm glad you had someone to talk to. It's important and it's nice to have some one to lean on, especially for you as your the one always speaking encouragement to others. That all being said, I will pray that your brother will be better. I feel he'll be fine, though prayer is so important and powerful. You're a good guy, and your brother should be grateful for such a good family. All the best through this time for you!!! I'll keep you in prayer my friend!
Also I know I was always teasing you about this situation regarding Anna, and even as I write this I'm kinda chuckling and I've got to apologize as I know this bothered you. I just didn't realize how upset you were about this till reading your post just now. So I didn't mean to laugh at your pain. I was laughing cause your a friend and there is a bit of humor in the whole thing, though it's not funny at all that this upset you so much. But don't let it get to you too much as she could be who she says she is, or maybe there is a reason for her alias on here. I hope she replies to you and that this comes to closure.
Cheers my man, and prayers going out to your bro!!! __________________

Hey dudeI'm really sorry remember to be trong and if you have tolet it out we won't hold it against ya. Man that just sucks. But just be there and stay with them till it's there time to go. Make happy memories. I had to learn that with some family as well. Good luck to you and your family. __________________

Ha-ha! Don't tell my Dad that!!! He's old school when it comes to matters like that. I remember getting upset by things growing up and if I started to cry the reply was, "Do you want something to cry about?" Needless to say it did not take long for me to learn to control my emotions!! For some reason, getting an apple-switch nullified the reaction of crying!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. SMan Rox, sorry to hear you have family facing health problems as well. There's never a good time for something like to happen, but around Christmas seems especially hard. I truly believe in the power prayer can make, and I will keep your family in my prayers!!

Don't worry about it Scaper!! As I think I said in another post (after you had explained a little more clearly where you were finding the humor), I too could see the humor in all of this. I guess the real painful part of all this was after all this time I had been posting back and forth to Anna, and I naively thought what was said was geniune. Guess that's just what one gets for believing in people sometimes. As for as closure, I do not worry about. As I said, I have had other matters surface that have placed this event in its place, and in the past where it belongs.
That being said, I think folks posting here seem to think too highly of me. I'm just a person like everyone else, and with all the mistakes I've made in life I often feel like "the villian of the story". I guess that's why it feels so much safer to keep oneself locked away in hopes that they do not bother anyone.
The lady at work that kept pressing me as to what was bothering me really through me. She had no reason to care about what was going on. I'm used to trying to help out when I can, and as I said I had offered her words of encouragement, verses of sympathy from The Bible, but her father had passed away for goodness sakes. Truth be told, it was kind of scary to have had this happen (I kept thinking in my mind, I wish my Dad were here so I could ask him what I should do)!!
Anyhow, one day at a time right! hey! __________________

That's a good attitude. I think it's important to know that you need to be able to lean on someone too. To know that your human, and that as much as it's important and good to be there for others, it's just as important to know how to receive support, and to know that it's O.K. to let your fences down. I've been brought up to show emotion. I get that from my mom. My Dad was and is like your Dad. My Dad brought my brother up like that, where my mom was more involved in my sensitivity. I still got the Be a Man's Man from my Dad but my Mom had a huge impact on how to be sensitive and to show emotion. I love being in touch with my feelings and emotion. It's important to be in control, but not over control so that you bottle up or put on a mask and fake being happy. I'm very expressive and open, though to only the right people. Like the Bible Says you don't want to throw your pearls before swine! Be wise in whom you share matters of the heart with. Not everyone is so honorable!
p.s. It's good that your humble. Never let friendly comments go to your head! BAD BAD BAD!!!
And lastly!!!
Right on HEY!!! HAHAHAHAAHA!!!! __________________

Of coure I don't know all the details of your situation, but a similiar problem happened to my wife where she had to be tested for cancer. It all turned out ok. Nowadays the slightest problem gets detected so you can't let these things worry you till you know more. That's been my experience. I worried myself to death when it happened to us. I'll say a prayer for your brother. __________________

It's hard for me to "let my fences down" since I've spent so much time fortifying them to be stronger than the walls of Fort Sumter are today. It was still scary to have my friend at work, who normally is firing off snarky comments, to act so concerned. It definitely added to what was a long day!!

I think we all wear masks of some sort (metaphorically), in that we act differently around different people/situations - thus the "masks" we wear. You're right on about what the Bible says, and I guess that's what also made the situation Friday more difficult. I knew Caroline was just trying to help, but my faith in reading people's intentions these days has wained (one of the many things I'm praying for help with).

Thanks Tim!! Yeah, it's kind of been an on-going situation in that my Dad's family has a history of cancer/high blood pressure. My brother, Gerry, has had a time with the PSA results he gets from annual (or maybe it's semi-annual, I don't remember now) checks he gets. The weird part is, the more on researches PSA results, the more confused one gets. I talked to Gerry the other day, and he sounded normal and it did not seem that this was bothering him whatsoever. I guess I'm probably over-reacting over nothing. Well, I am an expert at messing up!! I've been joking with others that I should have my middle name changed from Michael to "Mess-up", ha! __________________

Well so far my family is ok for the time being. Who knows what's gonna happen with my dad, but I just go back whenever I'm needed there. I'm always on alert, I just can't sit by tho and wait for him to just go, I gotta work and I gotta make sure I make every moment count when I can. That's what you can do tho when a person is dying, don't waste time, take every chance you can. I mean my girl may not have a great stable relationship with her dad but she at least tries while he doesn't connect with her like she is trying to do with him. __________________
