The Imitation Lounge - Part 122

[SymbioticToxin]

So does anyone know what's goin' on with Konami? Apparently they cancelled Silent Hills.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Every classic will be remade eventually. Hollywood has very few originality left nowadays.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That includes Birdman?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Do you believe it includes Birdman?

 

[Guts]

Birdman was hardly original.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

God, that was an awesome cartoon. Be still my beating heart

 

[Fallen Angel]

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdman!

 

[DarkSentinel]

I just feel like total crap right now. I'm trying to put on a brave face, but when you end a friendship after fifteen years...damn dude. Just damn.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Do you believe it includes Birdman?

It's possible.

Damn, dude. Just damnity damn damn.

My dad is a boss I needed an extra $200 to move into this new place and he went and dropped me $400.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Damn, dude. Just damnity damn damn.

thanks for helping me laugh, JJJ. The grief is just kinda hitting me now.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That's really nice of your dad.

 

[KevanG]

I can't imagine losing my friendship with my best friend. I've known him about the same amount of time and we're practically brothers.

Yeah man. Same with me. But I just didn't know what else to do, the dude just stopped talking and went complete ghost on me. I can't abide that.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

That's really nice of your dad.

He has bailed me out so many times. Having a rich dad kicks ass

Sounds like you should work in your family business.

He is a captain for Delta

Well this is has been a terrible monday. This morning my grandfather had an aneurysm and a stroke, and the doctors have said that there is nothing that can be done for him. He cant breathe on his own and he is unresponsive so my father and my aunt are going to have to decide whether to take him off life support. Im pretty sure they will.

He has always been my favorite relative and someone I always felt entirely comfortable around because we are so alike and I took after him more than i did my own parents. My life's going to have a gaping hole in it without him.

Damn Marv sorry to hear that. I'll say a prayer bud.

I am so sorry.

Spoiler

My grandfather passed away back in 2006. A few years prior to this, say five years, he had his first stroke. I remember playing blackjack with my grandma and hearing a thud that shook the whole house. We found him in the kitchen.

Fast forward to 06 and we get the call late night/early morning. Labored breathing, sweat-soaked, nothing home health can really do. I have fond memories of catching lizards with him, and working in his garden with him, back when he'd come pick me up as a kid while my parents went to work.I know what if feels like, man.

Sorry to hear that my brother. He sounds like a good man

 

[Fallen Angel]

Thought's with you and your family bro.

 

[Duke]

Sorry to hear about that Marv, my prayers go out to you.

All my sympathies Marv. My mother's mother (The old woman that loves Game Of Thrones and Daredevil) has always been in my life, from birth. Born in 1932, she's been a presence in my life constantly. She is like a second mother and thankfully she had maintained her mental faculties even in her advanced age. There's no gap between us. She's friend, confidant, sage and authority figure all rolled into one. But as I have gotten older I realize that sooner than later... I am going to lose her. As of now she has no life threatening problem per se... But each year brings new chronic problems as aging takes it's toll. She gets less active and I'd be lying if I said she herself isn't feeling the pressures of that final exit upon her. She loses more and more of her peers, friends and family alike, and I can only wonder how that weighs on her psyche.

All I can say Marv is... Do you feel that your grandfather loved you and that you loved him back? Do you feel you've done your duty as a grandson and honored him in this life? If you can honestly answer yes, despite the regular list of regrets we all have in these sort of situations, then I say... Let the tears come. Because those tears, the sadness, even the anger mean one thing... That you were loved and gave love in return. These events are the inevitable results of living, of passing through time and growing up and growing older. It's never easy and I am sure my words are poor comfort. Just don't let sadness alone be your company in these times. Remembrance of the love needs to be there to, even if it causes pain, because it is a testament to the import and impact a person we are losing or have lost has had on our lives.

Be strong for others and yourself as well Brother Man.
