Thread: O/T Tell your Wife & Kids you Love them,.....

Tweet

I know sometimes we can get so wrapped up in our cars and our own interests, that even tho we love our Wifes and Kids, they think the most important thing in our life's are the cars,... Make time for them, let them know you love them, there is no guarantee of tomorrow.

I got a call from our car club president on Saturday,.... The first words out of his mouth was "Dennis,... I have some bad news",.... Just hearing that makes your heart sink,.. you wonder what old friend is gone now,... no matter how many times you hear it, it still effects you the same way. But this time it was different,...

Bill went on, Scott's wife didn't wake up this morning,...... There was a defining silence, She passed away in her sleep,... she was only 37, There 11 year old son found her, Scott was off to work..... I have a deep faith, but have been trying to process this sence I got the call,... My faith is still strong, because we are appointed a time to be born,... and a time to die,.. but it still breaks my heart.

There is a loving Husband, a 13 year old daughter and a 11 year old son, that will be facing a lot of tears, sleepless nights, and heart aches for years to come,.... I will be heading down to the Detroit area on Wednesday to pay my respects. I don't know if it's acceptable on here or not,.. But if your the praying type,... please keep Scott and his family in your prayers, As this loss is very great to them and will seem more then they can bare,....

In closing,.... "life is like a vapor that rises up and is gone" there is no promise of tomorrow, This moment is all we have,... make time for your Wife, Kids, Parents, everyone that is close to you , and if you love them, tell them,..... you may not have another chance.

Sorry to hear of such a tragedy, i my prayers go out to friends and family!!!

You are very right ! we never know what tomorrow will bring, i make it a point to let my family know i love them very much!!! I am blessed to have a wife that i never argue with so no conversation ever ends on a bad note.

What a terrible loss, and my condolences go out to the family. You are right, we go through life and sometimes forget to let those we know and love how much we care about them. Times like this remind us that we never know what the next minute or day will bring.

She was so young too.

My prayers are out to his family and friends .

They will be in my prayers..

Hi, hope you don't mind me responding to this. I'm lamin8r's wife, Lynda. In the early 90's my dad, 63 at the time, had his birthday. Mum had gone away for the weekend to play bowls and I took dad in my '55 Cusso out to see an old fella who had a low mileage De Soto. We spent the day together, and the last thing I said to him as he drove down the driveway was, "hey dad, I love you" - he died suddenly 11 days later.
What happened that day supported me through the next several months. Yep, dont put it off.

Wow I'm sorry for their loss. It is always sad to hear of a family losing a member at such a young age. I lost my mom 14 years ago and still feel the pain. My prayers will go out to your friend's family.

That is my daughter's age 37 she has three boys, I couldn't imagine anything like that to happen to her. I'm trying to help my sister that just lost her husband in November 09 she had retired her husband left Utah last year to start a new beginning in TN. built a new house had a big shop built. My sister was there for one month she took him to the hospital for what they thought was the flu, she didn't get to tell him good-bye.

My prayers go out to your friend’s family and for your compassion to mention the lost here.
This is the best forum I have found where we can talk and share joy and unfortunately sorrow.

They are in our prayers.

Highboy – I’ve always admired your byline. Ephesians 2:8 and 9 are great verses to live by and during the difficult times in our lives, it’s reassuring to know that it’s God’s grace that gives us purpose. My heart goes out to you as you process through this seemingly tragic and untimely event. Praying for God’s wisdom, grace, strength and peace for you as you support your friend and his family. And know that it’s okay to grieve and struggle with this.

Thanks for the reminder to love those who are precious to us.

Hang in there brother.
