Welcome To Topix Too Forum

Your childhood memories are amazing... and some very sad. Thanks for sharing and I send you blessings.

I remember our church pastor pronouncing a blessing upon the congregation at the close of each service.

I believe anyone can give a blessing upon another... and I send blessing to you honeymylove.

Thank you cowface.

God Bless you.

Speaking of church, there was this one Sunday and they ask the kids up to be Baptist...My sister went up but me and my step sister hid under the pews.
They sprinkled water on their heads. I think I was around 5 at that time.

Cute. You were young... baptizm should be understood... you did the right thing. Blessings

Blessings to you Honeymylove

I always love going to my grand-parents house. Grandma made the best apple butter and  can pears.  I remember her as a very hard worker. There's no one like her....One time Grandpa gave me a little piece of his pug tobacco.. Days Work..

Very cool your Grandparents... I too have chewed Days Work and another plug tobacco Brown Mule or something like that. My Grandpa chewed Beechnut.

I am so sorry Cygnus (((HUGS)))
 I lost my baby brother due to a motorcycle accident... He was 24.. My best brother ever. He took me frog gigging.
When he was little and I come to visit with my son, he would say,  how about a kiss?. I told him don't you think you're getting a little too big for a kiss? He was around 9 at the time.

He was my best friend in the world who I thought of as my own brother. But sadly he was on LSD on a hairpin turn at 130mph and died instantaneously at the scene.

I was on my way home from a party we were having at a friends, so you can imagine the horror I felt as we were about to pass the ambulance, fire crew and bystanders that were already on the scene.

It broke my f-ing heart to bits as some of my friends and I got out of the car. I dashed toward him when an officer tried to keep me away, but I was having none of this and grabbed my friends broken body...to just ball like a child.

It still brings back sad memories when I think about this moment in time, as it is so hard to lose someone you grew up with from childhood.

This is why I don’t say much about this to anyone. 

And I’m so very sorry for your loss.

wow

I too have memories of besties that are no longer here ..... hard row

I never enjoy talking about my best friend and brother...but sometimes I have to for my own sanity...and there isn’t a day that I don’t reflect on this tragedy from my past that has haunted me for so long.
So young to be taken from us all.

 I remember it as if it happened just yesterday when I saw his broken bike against a very large maple tree with its frame broken in half with his broken body smashed against this maple tree with a trunk about 4 feet across and over 60 feet in height.

I have kept this in for far to long and have been needing to vent this for some long awaited peace that never comes. 

The officers two grabbed me from his broken body and wrestled me to the ground and all I could say was “he’s my bother! God-d-it! He's my brother!” I had blood all over me.

When they got me to the ground they kept saying “boy calm down! It’ll be alright!”, but it was far from alright.

This officer in charge (a friend just out of the military) sees what’s happening and calls them to bring be there while I’m still struggling after I’ve been handcuffed.
They bring me to him and he asked if he could talk to me, but at this point they said I was like I was in a comatose state and couldn’t relate to anyone. This part I don’t remember because all I could think of was the loss of my best friend and that I do remember and all too well I’m afraid and it’s been hell ever since.

But I’m glad I get to vent some of this here to release some of this past that’s constantly with me.

Hi Cyg... I sympathsize and you have my condolances. Grief is unending for loved ones close to us. You bore something more than just sorrow and grief you bear the trama and shock of that trajedy personally by being at the scene of the accident and death. You saw what is very difficult to see and others did not. This can cause PTSD and could be more than just the grief you are still struggling with. PTSD is treatable. Blessings to you friend.

Damnit, I’m crying again...and know you’re right.

This is why I sought a psychiatrist because of the death of my closest friend and ally.
And I’m still dealing with that day.
Thank you for your time.

My Father-In-Law was a WWII POW for 19 months in Germany after his plane was shot down. He suffered with PTSD and was on medication for it the rest of his life until he died at 92 two years ago. Take your medication as prescribed and if it not helping see your Dr. again about it. You can always talk to me about it. Their is a higher power I would love to refer you to for the best help... if you ever want to allow yourself. Blessings

I had a great uncle the served in WW2, as did his brother. My great uncle was killed in the line of duty in the tank core - a Sherman that was obliterated by a King Tiger.

I do take it. But it doesn’t always help.

And I see the world for what it is, and see the people for what they are and not what they want me to believe. I see the reality and that gives me strength and hope, and that’s something that no fables will ever give.
Sorry if disappoint you, but I see no gods, whatsoever.
