I Feel Like Gabbing

, , ,


There won't be any nifty graphics or anything in this post. I haven't the time for it. I just feel like I need to take a little bit of time to write some personal stuff for a change. I've gotten so accustomed to writing business related things, that I've lost my passion a bit. I figure that maybe if I babble on here for a few, it'll help. Let's hope so. up

We've been dealing with a recent tragedy. My son's best friend here in Vancouver, died on November 8. His name was Drake and he was only 17 years old. He was a favorite amongst my son's friends (as far as I'm concerned)...very respectful and polite. He was on the school bus ready to head home and his heart just stopped. That was it. Why?!?!?!

Anyway, Jameson is NOT dealing with it well. After the suicide of his last Step-Dad in 2001...and now this. Well, it's bringing up old feelings along with these new horrible feelings. Anyway, he's incredibly sad and depressed. I'm so concerned and worried about him. I hope and pray that he will be okay. I've never seen him so down...and he was pretty depressed before this happened. Luckily, my Dad & Step-Mom have offered to buy Jameson either air fare or bus fare (his choice) to come visit them in sunny Arizona for a while! yes Jameson is excited - he actually smiled yesterday! heart Anyway, I think it will do him SO much good to see his Grandpa and also his Uncle. (my bro) Oh, he has a cousin down there, too!

As for the rest of us? We're okay. I'm dealing with the seasonal depression thing again - like every other year. Lonnie's getting back into Graphic Art, which is so wonderful to see. I'm writing blog posts for companies...business related like I said before. Sunny is sunny. lol I've yet to see her too upset, and I pray to God that never changes. o

Okay, I'm going to go bust out some articles now. Thank you for bothering to read this. I know it's kinda boring to read about other people's lives sometimes. I do appreciate everyone who is subscribed to my blog, though - please know that. heart

Thank you for sharing. Though, praying that I will never be in the similar situation, I think maybe visiting friendly counselors/pastors/priests and just talking about it will go a long way for you and your son. smile

Although, it's not like I have a psychology degree or anything like that...

He is in counseling, and has been for his depression for a while. He just went and saw the guy yesterday. Didn't seem to do a whole lot of good, but I don't know. I'm not my son. smile

Thanks for the input - I appreciate it. Degree or not. p

Ummm... I doubt Jameson was too upset over the 'Marc' incident

KarenNerak Friday, November 19, 2010 8:57:34 PM

Yeah, he was.

Sorry to hear that! Crazy how can someone's heart just stop, so sad.. I hope your son recovers as much as he can. heart

KarenNerak Friday, November 19, 2010 8:58:51 PM

Crazy, indeed. They're waiting for the autopsy results to know EXACTLY what happened. He didn't smoke, drink, or do drugs, though. Really straight-laced kid. smile

Thanks so much! heart

Hey, Karen, read about that friend of Jamesons the other day. My condolences. What a shame. I'm sure Jameson will bounce back. *hug*

Was he? I was under the impression he hated him... huh *shrugs* Anyway, I'm so sorry about what happened to Drake... sad

KarenNerak Saturday, November 20, 2010 9:51:49 PM

Thanks John & Dennis! heart Believe it or not, since I wrote this post, he's already doing a bit better. He's been hanging out with a mutual friend of Drake's...if that makes sense. Anyway, they're leaning on each other and it's helping. Yay! yes


Conor - Yes, he was. He was 10-ish at the time, and feelings of that nature are confusing for a 40 year old, let alone a 10 year old. He hates him now, yes. Wants to bring him back so he can kill him - indeed. Not then, though.

Thanks, Conor...it's so sad. You just never know! Gotta make the most of each and every day. heart

MConor Saturday, November 20, 2010 10:05:22 PM

Which is how I've been living lately bigsmile

KarenNerak Saturday, November 20, 2010 10:07:34 PM

That's awesome! yes

David RhodesDavidRhodes Sunday, November 21, 2010 2:09:13 PM

no Yes, it's me! Your blog isn't boring at all - why would you say such a silly thing? Sometimes the best way to write something is conversationally. It's nice to hear about you! wink I wish you all the best! Live long and prosper. spock

KarenNerak Sunday, November 21, 2010 9:59:26 PM

Thanks so much, David. coffeespock

John BallCATMAN42 Monday, November 22, 2010 12:45:37 PM

I am glad he is doing better Karen.Long may it last.happy up coffee heart

David RhodesDavidRhodes Monday, November 22, 2010 2:45:34 PM

Karen, I do hope that soon all the emotional turmoil will dissipate, allowing in all the feelings we as humans need to be well. The mental and physical cost we pay can be high, but eventually we again come to that fork in the road where we finally decide which direction to take - hopefully, it is the right direction. Wishes can come true. Wish for your son to one day stop what he is doing and realize, wow, I had a good day today! coffee

KarenNerak Monday, November 22, 2010 8:29:43 PM

Thanks soooo much, David. o It's amazing how much better things have gotten since I wrote this post. Jameson is doing A LOT better. He's joking around and stuff, even. bigsmile I think having his friend, Nick, around...and also knowing that we're all here for him and stuff helps immensely.

Anyway, thank you again. coffee
