n8ball2013 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 This may get kind of long for you all and this happens to be a very serious topic. I dont tend to put stuff like this up but this really hit home for me. I recently found out that two Marines who I was stationed with and very good friends had passed. The first died of natural causes in his sleep. He was 32 years old and deemed in perfect health by the Navy medical. He left behind his girl and unborn baby who he was psyched about having. He went to sleep and couldn't be woken up the next day. The other was my tech rep at my last unit. He was a reserve First Sergeant and a civilian tech rep for our IT department. He took his own life on Friday. He had just returned from a deplyment in Iraq with his artillery unit a few months ago. He leaves behind a son and an ex wife. These both hit me like a ton of bricks. I had managed to fall out of touch with both and most of my Marine Corps buddies except for very few. I had always intended to reach out and call or shoot an email but never did. Now this happens. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. Thats not the purpose of this. I just hope I can put some things in perspective for you. Thoes friends of yours you havent talked to in awhile, reach out see how they are doing. You never know when its their time. Those of you with children, give them an extra hug and kiss tonight. That way you wont be sitting here kicking yourself in the ass for being stubborn and turning your back on the people who you held close during a period of your life.

n8ball2013 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Much respect for the guys sorry to hear this man its ok like I said i just hope this causes some of you to reach out and talk to some of those people who you havent bothered to talk to, grown apart etc before its too late. Some things are permanent and this is one of those times I'd like to have back some of the decisions I've made.

Beanz Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Shit man i know how you feel man..just last year ago my friend passed away ..luckly i talked and hanged out with him for a while before he passed away...shit like this just really trips you out on how one minute there their chilling in there front lawn and next there not there anymore. That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

RIP SSGT Craig Sadler RIP 1stSgt Norman Hudson Ok thats just freaky, this past Friday July 16th, was the 14th year anniversary of my brother taking his own life. As for SSGT Craig Sadler thats just scary he's younger than me. N8ball dont beat yourself up too hard, when it comes to death no one ever knows. No need in punishing yourself because life got busy. Don't do the what if's and should have's, your friends are no longer here, isn't that enough punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
