Love your family men.....

Such a terrible thing to hear. Marty, my thoughts are with you and your family. Such a disaster.

God bless you, your little boy, and your entire family.

MartinBlank · 08-17-10, 10:38 AM

Thanks Eddie for the points. They are being deposited with Mexican Stallion right now.

MartinBlank · 08-17-10, 10:54 AM

Thank you Deuce.

Appreciate it.

BatemanPatrickl · 08-17-10, 10:54 AM

Marty I know we had our differences but I feel for you. I am battling major depression right now and getting through the day is a task for me. Nothing I can say will bring your boy back but whatever strength I can gather will be used for prayer.

Life is precious

MartinBlank · 08-17-10, 10:57 AM

Bateman...thank you. And you know what? The experience taught me something about myself----I was a dickhead toward you. And for that I am truly sorry.

I wish the very best for you brother. Seriously. Hang in there, my prayers will go your way.

And you said it best. Life is precious.

Best wishes Patrick.

BatemanPatrickl · 08-17-10, 10:59 AM

Thank you Marty; I apologize as well and will do everything I can do beat this illness and live a good life. I know you will do the same

in2thethickofit · 08-17-10, 11:13 AM

I don't know you though I have seen you on here before. I am very sorry for the loss of your child. My prayers and thoughts will be with you today. Remember something about your child that makes you smile and think about it all day.

THE PROFIT · 08-17-10, 11:14 AM

So sorry Martin. My parents lost my older brother almost 30 years ago. You're right, time doesn't heal

HoldEmHook!! · 08-17-10, 11:18 AM

I can not imagine the loss of a child.....brother my prayers are with you and your family....

Extra Innings · 08-17-10, 11:25 AM

For a parent, the loss of a child is one of the most difficult things they will encounter in life...there is no norm for something so cruel and unnatural..you have to be there for each other and moreover your other children.

My prayers are with you, your wife, and your family.

hugh_morris · 08-17-10, 11:30 AM

Martin..my thoughts and prayers are with you all the way..i have a couple kids i cant even imagine the thought of losing them..keep your head up the best you can..

will2survive · 08-17-10, 11:34 AM

Martin: I've lost two parents who were 53 in 2006 and 40 in 1992(I'm almost 39 years old)---Most of my family has passed away.

To lose a child is the worst,the parent is supposed to outlive their child. As you and Profit have said--It stays with you and never goes away.I carry it wherever I go.I'm loving and giving to people but the hurt and the "chip" on my shoulder NEVER goes away.

I'm sorry for your family---the only advice that I can give is use the pain from the loss and be the best,genuine,careing,and giving person that you can be,you'll be able to cope with things better.Use the pain as positive energy because you're still living.I haven't lost a child but I know that PAIN that won't leave your mind---stay strong

My parents lost my brother when he was 8, I was barely 6 years old at the time. God works in mysterious ways.

Very sorry to hear that Marty, even though I don't know you, I can feel your pain, I saw how hard it was on my parents to lose a child and can't imagine it being any different for you. Fate is fate though, can't do anything about that.

Wish you all the best in the future.

konck · 08-17-10, 11:45 AM

Lost my Dad to the same illness very long battle.
There is no great pain than losing your child .....My prayers are with you and for your Son ...God Bless

Thats odd, SRBI. I was 6 & he was 8 also. I'm 34 now

So sorry for your loss..my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

EmpireMaker · 08-17-10, 12:52 PM

I can't and don't want to imagine, my deepest condolences.

MexicanStallion · 08-17-10, 01:18 PM

Thanks for the message earlier. I was always surprised you got up and left one day, but it is understandable with your post. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't have the slightest clue how you feel, but I wish you the best. I can only imagine that is something very tough to go through.

poker_dummy101 · 08-17-10, 01:27 PM

i wish i wouldnt have put my 150 pts on a 4teamer now

hang in there man

odusmykal · 08-17-10, 01:43 PM

Martin, i lost my fiancee 5 years ago.. Time doesn't heal.. Life gets easier on some days, but the pain never goes away.. We all will lose loved ones, (parents, spouses, best friends) but most of us will never know the pain of losing a child.. My heart goes out to you & your wife.. Also my prayers.. You & your wife, have got to keep your heads up and be there for each other now.. And for your other child.. No one will ever know why this happened, you just have to trust in God & let Him guide you through.. And always remember brother, you have a 2nd family here at SBR who cares about you.. If you ever need anything, we will be here for you..

THE PROFIT · 08-17-10, 03:06 PM

You will have, or should I say your wife will, have a tendency to be VERY overprotective of your other child. DONT!

jordan_gt_99 · 08-17-10, 03:15 PM

Be strong for your family

DrStale · 08-17-10, 05:38 PM

It almost feels pointless to try and say something here, as there can't be anything that anyone can say to make this situation at all better, but my thoughts are with you and I hope myself and others can take your advice from this so that all is not lost. We need to surround ourselves with those we care about and never take them for granted.

lakerboy · 08-17-10, 06:28 PM

Martin very sorry to hear this terrible news. God bless you and your family as you go thru this rough time.

stealthyburrito · 08-17-10, 07:50 PM

wow, i got chills down my spine when i read this.

words cannot overcome the pain of loss, but god bless you and yours.

you are right, time will never completely heal the wound. but try to channel your emotions into something positive, when you are ready.

BOL to ya Marty

thisisit · 08-17-10, 08:02 PM

I will pray for you, and your family tonight. May your son rest in peace. Lost 3 family members this year myself, and no one as young as that. Please take care of your wife, and yourself.

MartinBlank · 08-18-10, 11:26 AM

Guys,

I just wanted to say thank you for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. The points are being used the small remaining debts I have. In fact, Mex is already paid off thanks to your kindness.

Thank you so very much again.

God bless, and best wishes.
