death sucks

Sorry I haven't been around much lately.

My Mother-in-Law left us yesterday evening to be with God after an almost two year battle with lung cancer. She was at peace when she passed.

For you folks that smoke, I know it isn't easy to quit, but please think about quiting so you have as much time here in this life with your families.

Sorry to hear about the loss you and your family are suffering Sammy. The best thing that can be said about cancer is when it is over. She goes to better world.....
My prayers will go out for her, for you and your famly.....right now.

Lost my dog yesterday. I realize it pales in comparison to losing friends or family. But still. Definitely feeling it, death does indeed suck.Unfortunately just posted in this thread and sorry I missed your post. I lost my dog almost three years ago, I miss him everyday. We have his ashes right next to our bed, where he always slept. My belated condolences. You've probably already read it, but the rainbow bridge and this helped, at least a little.

Dogs In Heaven?
An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him. The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you."

"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now."

"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."

So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "S'cuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"

"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable"

"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere."

"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"

"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in.
We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final."

The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."

"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"

"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

My condolences. Went through the same thing 2 years ago with my MIL.

I'm glad AH's brother died. Everyone who goes 100 mph on a bike deserves to.

Really dude? No need for that at all.

Pathetic.

Wow to be thankful a man died for speeding. Wow

Really dude? No need for that at all.

Pathetic.

I'm a little bitter that the other thread got locked by another "mod". I expressed my opinion there, it offended his delicate sensibilities, so it got locked despite the irrefutable logic behind it.
