    Matt and Stokes ... My heart bleeds for both of you. Got very choked up reading your stories.

    A few years ago an acquaintence had a brain annuerism from one day to the next, and instantly died leaving behind a 7 year old daughter. Life can seem to be so cruel to us sometimes, I just don't understand why good people are made to suffer through situations that will cause life long emotional pain and sorrow. But that is not for us to know, and I guess all we can do is lift these situations up to God and trust that we will be with our departed loved ones in paradise one day and it will be all joy, and bliss sharing God's light and warmth together. I have faith in that anyway but it is just my belief.

    As for me I am married for 3 years now we got engaged relatively quick, but it just felt right. I had slept with a lot of women in my late teens and esp my 20s, broke hearts, lied, and did some things I am not proud of but I was always a lover waiting for my soul mate and I found her. We have a 2 YEAR old daughter and working on adding more God willing. Despite all the "fun" I had my only regret is that I didn't meet my wife sooner in life so that we could have built more memories together and grown through that stage of life together. My advice would be love the one your with and don't think that just because you are in your early or mid 20s you have to be a human dildo. Good chemistry is not easy to find and if you toss a great prospect just bc you think it's your duty to bone girls at every corner ... You may regret it one day. None of the highlight reels from my 20s compares a fraction to seeing my 2 year old smile and laugh. It's one of Gods greatest gifts to us here in this life ... Children are angels as they demonstrate unconditional love.

    My marriage has hit the skids for the last year. We bicker over every little thing. Marriage is not easy. But you must stay commited even during the storms. Good luck. And again to Stokes and Matt God bless you both and your families as well. I can't even imagine the loss and I am so sympathetic to your situations.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the well wishes...as I told my my cousin who just lost his 19 year old daughter in a car accident, she was a soccer player for Central Michigan and the van rolled over on the way home from practice, one day at a time...

    Don't know how I missed your story Matt... Sorry for your loss. Makes you see life in a whole different way when you lose someone.

    After reading thru this thread, it just brings home that old adage about never taking anyone or anything for granted. I'm gonna have some roses for wifey when she gets home tonight just because. Cooking a nice dinner too.

    I have some thoughts on this as I've learned the hard way that losing someone you care about deeply because you think a night of fun with some hot chick sucks. I'm on my way to work but I'll post later.
