Hi everyone you all may know me as CHE_ but you can just call me Jorge. I haven't played seriously and somewhat read what everyone is up to here on the forums. I'm just going to plain and simply state what's on my mind at the moment. It's 1:48 AM and just found out my uncle passed away. He was in a comma since Saturday morning. The crazy thing is that he and my dad were running on Thursday like nothing was wrong. Also to include a small side story, my father had a mild stroke about a month ago. My dad is doing well but right now it's a bit hectic for my family.

Right now it's kind of difficult to comprehend all of this at the moment but to get to the point, I just wanted to share a message and how Father's day is this Sunday. Spend as much time with your father or children and always cherish and remember those great and bad moments too. I was close to thinking that I almost lost my father a month ago as i witnessed him fall and collapse on himself trying to figure out what just happened. It was heartbreaking for a bit because he didn't know who I was for a few hours so that bugged me out but he came back to his senses. I'm just glad he is doing well now and its definitely been a new experience for him but for me as well.

Right now I'll see how things go and how to deal with my uncle. I just wanted to share a small tidbit and really think the relationship you may have with your own father or children. I have my ups and downs with him, but he is my dad of course. Life is very precious and you never know when something can happen to someone you care about within an instant.

I know exactly what you mean. A couple months ago I was ringing in a scrim when I got a call that my dad was walking and he suddenly collapsed, had hit his head and was in the hospital with a life-threatening traumatic brain injury. Thankfully he's recovered tremendously well, but I might not have been so fortunate. Things like that definitely shake up the status quo of your life and teach you to not take anything for granted.

I'm glad you seem to be doing well, hang in there.

As someone who's father passed away when he was 13, I cannot stress it enough as to how dearly you should cherish these relationships when you have the chance. Even if you aren't close with whatever family member is in question, when spending time with that person is something that can't be done any longer, it will be the only thing you want. I didn't spend nearly enough time with my father as I should have, seeing as my parents were separated and spending time with him was time spent away from my mother and the rest of my family, it just didn't happen. The last 2 hours of his life were spent talking to me, but not even recognizing me as his son because of what he was going through. It was extremely painful, and I would never wish it upon anybody. My Father's days are spent with my mother now, cherishing whatever time I have with her, because when I can't do that any longer, I know from personal experience it'll be all I want.

Long story short, cherish any and all time possible. When time is no longer an option, it'll be all you want. Hold your head high, and hang in there man.
