SunLion

We can honor the memory of loved ones who have passed. This discussion was revived a few years after a lot had transpired. We can appreciate that we had the privilege of interacting with some very special people while they were among us. Holding their memories close to us is a way of celebrating their lives. The impermanence of this existence is absolute.

 

Ill be keepin good thoughts for Sunlion and his family, hes always been one of the good folks and I hope it works out just right for everyone.

 

Thanks for the kind words. The outpouring of love and support among our family and friends has been very encouraging.

She's a tough lady, having survived a car crash in 1988 that left her disabled and suffering from episodes of syncope (loss of consciousness without warning), along with extreme migraines and other unusual and long-lasting symptoms. She was once also nearly murdered by an unknown attacker. Our kids grew up seeing pain and suffering up close and personal, and became extremely kind and loving people largely as a result of living through all of this.

On the day of learning the bad news, she said her anthem would be Touch of Gray, and that she will survive. She even said that if she can't beat it, she wants at least to inspire a fight in those who can.

 

Update: she is being admitted Sunday for brain surgery first thing Monday morning. That will only be the start of treatment, but at least they're moving quickly.

If you want to help, the best way, in my opinion, is to go do an act of random kindness for someone in need, someone close to home. That's a lot to ask of strangers on a message board, but that's the kind of thing that would best reflect her outlook on life.

 

Sending positive energy your way. Keep the Faith.

 

It's not a lot to ask at all, SunLion, not at all. Consider it done...and much love and blessing to you and yours!

Sus,

I told her that someone we've never met is on a Random Kindness Mission as a gesture of support, and she REALLY liked hearing that! Thank you!

She had her first major surgery yesterday, when they removed the brain tumor. So far all signs are good and I think she will be out of ICU later this morning. She was cracking jokes and making us laugh within an hour of waking up from the anesthesia. She's fucking AMAZING. I'm humbled by her grace and courage.

But they had to cut her hair, and it was long, red, and beautiful. In support, my son and I are both having our heads shaved (we both have very long hair also). If you want to see it live or by video, we only ask that you make a donation to the American Cancer Society. Details to follow in a few days.

 

Lots of love for the well wishes!

 

Good luck

welcome to Hipforums

 

My son is joining the conversation here Good man he is, he will have a lot of good energy and ideas to contribute.

I was just talking about the many people I've met here, and the positive impact this site has had on so many lives.

 

Awesome. We are glad to welcome him!

 

Should this site be here when my son gets old enough to post I'll make him use the handle Lodogthesecond420, then two years later just use Lodogthesecond.
