    Brummie - Sometimes I ain't so glad I found this forum, but other times you have to stop and think, this isn't just some board on the internet, you know? lauralisa - You are a true sweetie. Double Edge - Interesting, and thanks for sharing. Lots of things in life can't always be explained, and maybe you don't need to explain them... notperfectyet - You and I ain't so bad, we are just human. And that is fine by me. *hugs you back* OUTLAW - Something about your posts always make me crack the biggest smile. donkey - Always. RandomTask - Really enjoyed your thoughts. Something tells me you will live a very long life, too, and a happy one, doing something you are very good at, and you know damn well what I mean. You are good with people, it's a rare gift, and I know you will use it. Vivamus - One of my favorite female posters... *kiss and hugs* FrankyFourVests - Yes, and I'm one of em... (whackjob that is) *muah!* Pepper - Is honesty so rare? Or perhaps, it is just very well hidden. Kisses, Moe

    I'm not sure what happens at death, if you simply go to sleep like the Borg says, or if the spirit survives and goes on......one thing I do know is that death sucks big time for those left behind. I lost 2 of my siblings before I was 25, and it is the WORST thing you can go through. When I found out I had cancer, my immediate thought was "how are my parents going to survive the death of yet another child?"

    As hard as this world can be, I don't want to die, but like everyone before me and everyone after me, there's nothing we can do about it.

    Moe,

    Death, for me, is an enticing option.

    However, I do have many responsibilities and they are what prevent me from seeking to fulfill my alternative desired state.

    I am just trying to be more positive about things. Sounds like some sort of blanket statement, I know. But I swear that is all I can do at the moment.

    Children, being wonderful in their own right and bringing a sometimes unknown dimension into a mothers often scary and daunting world, can often be the saving grace and elongation to what otherwise could become a premature and and abrupt ending to a confusing lifestyle and existance.

    Thinking of you,

    MrMOE, It depends.Some people cling to life while in the greatest pain and suffering.Other people ,for whatever reason, don't want to go on living any longer.For me death is bad.I miss my loved ones Mom,Dad,Sister, Brother etc.Mom died in my arms! Dad died while talking to me over the phone! If you believe the Bible even Jesus felt forsaken at the point of death.My God! My God! Why have You Forsaken Me! These were piercing words.Words of pain.Death is bad.Life is good! Better yet Life under the best of conditions would not be bad.Blueblades

    Not knowing what is beyond death, I have no reason to fear it. I would have more fear of how I get there, than anything. I always said I would want to go 120 MPH into a bridge abutment, on my bike, if I had the choice.

    I do think people should not take their life, or others, tho. Nothing should be that bad that you have to end a life.

    Oh Moe that was beautiful and heartfelt. I can empathize with what you were feeling. I've been there. I've had days when the only thing that kept me going was the thought of my beautiful sons smile. Sometimes life can be such a pain that death seems not so daunting. I've learned that no matter how bad life can get it can become 10 times better if you stick it out. Sometimes the pain can be overwhelming but when the joy kicks in it is so worth the wait! Thanks for sharing that. and hugs to you!
