REST IN PEACE (Page 2 of 208)
|
Man, that's a really great story on your first deer hunt. It already sounds like you've lived a fairly fulfilled life. I literally don't really know how I'd take it if I woke up tomorrow coughing up blood and bits of lung into the sink. No first love, don't really see myself in that situation due to my personality and beliefs. I haven't been able to get out and hunt or hike much due to work and finances; and that is really my most favorite thing to do other than shoot. Your stories you've told are already striking a note in myself that I really don't know much about life right now. That I really don't have too many experiences. 45 is still to young though, especially with an 8 year old son. I don't particularly like the idea of kids either; but, I do understand that those who have them hold them more precious than anything. I really pray that you make it out of this man. |

| My dear friend. I am praying for you starting today and from now on. The most important thing you can do right now is to make sure that either in life or death, that you have given your life to our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, who wants nothing more than to have you secure on His arms, in this life and the next. Look in the Gideon Bible in your room and look at John 14:6. And John 3:16, 17, 18. I do not want you to die yet, but if your body is due to expire, you and your family will live forever if you all give your lives to Jesus. there are few better things for men to know in your case then knowing that a man will spend the rest of his life, thousands upon thousands upon millions of years with his family in heaven.Trust that Jesus will keep His Word to you and have a place for you beyond what your mind can imagine. I would share this with you if you were on your deathbed or at the hunting camp in good spirits and in good health. I would be happy to have a phone conversation with you and spend as much time as I can with you over the phone please private message me your phone number or cell phone number and I would very much like to visit with you over the phone. I am thinking about you and praying for you my dear friend and im praying that God will hold you and your family in His hands forever. |

OP, hang in there as best you can, and you will be in every prayer I say until you recover, as will your family.
I haven't read the whole thread, but if nobody else has mentioned it, maybe we could find a way to get a bone marrow drive started from the members here to try and find a match if you don't have one in your family. I know nothing about the process or anything, but someone here likely is a match, and there are some great people here. OP, I don't know if you're a praying man, but I'm going to go ahead and make a suggestion. There is a thread asking for prayers, and it really helps lots of times. There is power in numbers. And for just this moment, I want anyone who does pray to join me right now. Just read over this and believe it. Dear Lord, we come together in Your Holy name, seeking Your power, Your grace, and Your mercy, for the healing of FatalWishes. We believe, and we know, that You created us, and that You know how our bodies and minds work. We know that due to that, You are the Great Physician, and we believe that You are still capable of miracles. We ask that You heal FatalWishes, either by Your touch, or by guiding the hands and minds of the doctors who's care he is under. We pray that You give him the strength and the will to fight this fight Lord. We ask that You also give strength to his family and his friends. Father, we ask this of You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. |

I don't want to ask for money until we truly need it. We are surviving for now. I really appreciate the thought though. We met our 15k deductible last year and have another one coming up on November 1. We will need help meeting that but I'm not sure just how much. We have a 7500 out of pocket and 7500 deductible to meet. Not sure how generous work will be this year.......I may need to set something up. |

I did let one go one day. I had my .30-30 lined up on his ass and he was stuck in the mud. I didn't fire. I thought.....that would suck. I can't run......I'm stuck in the mud and I'm about to get shot. I let it go. He got unstuck and ran off after a while. I smiled. I can't kill something that can't get away. It's wasn't fair. I shot a lot of his buddies though.........we had ham for dinner. |

Dad just needs to get better. |

I don't know if this will help at all but maybe..
I was in a very serious car wreck a few years ago. In short I took a 2/3 full, 13 pound ammo can to the back of the head at 55 mph. I woke up a few minutes later and was alert enough to determine the extent of my injury and that I was most likely dying with a cracked open skull and massive bleeding. As I was loosing consciousness again I was 100% sure I was dying. I have two small kids and a wife I can't stand the thought of leaving. I always feared the thought. Those last few minutes before I went out I was certain were my last few on earth was amazingly peaceful and I don't remember any fear. I was 100% ok with what I thought was happening. I came very close to not making it and ended up with 23 staples holding my skull back together. Not sure if that's helpful at all, but I hope that if it comes to that it will be as peaceful as it was for me. It was a very strong feeling that what was happening was ok and everything would work out. I'm glad I can remember it. It seriously changed my life. |

I like this idea...say (write) some of those things you always meant to say but couldn't/didn't. Like the Techumseh poem at the end of Act of Valor. |

| I was asleep and just woke up from a bad dream. I grabbed my phone to check out ARFCOM and saw your thread. I felt compelled to post something, but I'm at a loss for words. I just hope God hears all of our prayers and that you begin to heal. Godspeed, brother. |

And please IM me/us with the details. ARFCOM can be really stupid about allowing people to post up charity/donor types of things in the forums....maybe you can talk to Goat Boy or Aimless and see if they will allow you to post a link to yours when you get it set up. But either way IM me the link, I will spread it around to good people. |

Dad just needs to get better. I'll try and scrounge up some ammo too. I already need to start buying in bulk instead of the whole pick up a couple boxes every week. I just end up shooting them.
Seriously though, don't believe that you're going to die. I have found out that many problems in life can be accomplished just by believing it and applying effort. Mind over matter. If you believe you're going to die, you will. Believe that you're going to make it out of this. I'm in Amarillo right now for school and work. I'll try and see if I can come up that way the week after this. My folks want me to come visit them this weekend, and I've got to borrow my pop's shop for a few preventative maintenance tasks on my suburban. I'll try and see if I can make it that way the following weekend. Hopefully Google Maps GPS can get me around Dallas, because I have no idea how to get around there. |

| I honestly have no idea either, I would do some googling lol. I have seen lots of people actually set up a Facebook page for things like this and just used a paypal account, however you should seek professional advice from a lawyer/banker/accountant first, there are probably rules and tax crap to consider. |
