Another of Ours Hit Hard
Our own Fyrfighter has been hit with a triple slam. He’s lost his Uncle, and now his Aunt to the virus, and his Dad is hospitalized, suffering from an embolism in his lungs from an earlier surgery. Dad’s up and down, but seems to be holding his own.
Once again however you roll, say a prayer, send kind thoughts or karma his way, light candles, burn some incense, raise a glass, or whatever gets you through the night. Send him and his family some TAH love and support during this difficult time.
Thanks,
AW1

Very sorry to get this news. Will include Fyrfighter’s family in my night-time meditations.
Put down the cold one, got on a knee and tossed up a prayer to the Father.

What the others have said Fyr. Good thoughts and prayers.
Deepest sympathies and condolences.
I’ll be praying for you as well, Fyrfighter!
May the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God, comfort, strengthen, guide, encourage, and guard you through these sufferings.

You’re on my list, brother. Even if you’re a dirty hose puller, I’ll keep you and your old man in my prayers.
My deepest Sympathy for your loss and I hope your Dad has a speedy recovery.

I am very sorry for your loss, Fyrfighter. I hope for the best for you and your father.
Thank you all! Your prayers and wishes mean a ton.
I did forget to mention that dad is a Bronze Medal recipient, awarded for actions during the Tet offensive.
As you might imagine, he’s a tough old bird, and I’ll be sure he knows you’re all pulling for him.
A rosary dedicated to Fyrfighter.
Prayers to you and your family from me.
Thinking of you and your family, Fyr.
Fyr, we understand how difficult it is to accept and how impossible it is to understand how fate can so suddenly blindside you.
Many prayers and meditations of good will are being directed toward you, your father and your family.
We’re with you…
Yeah Poe, life can be a bitch sometimes. Seems the only thing you can do is Cowboy the fuck up, and Charlie Mike…
Thanks again
Hope it all works out for the best.
Trying times don’t last forever and knowing others
care is a tremendous help.
My condolences on your loss, Fyrfighter.
I’ll ask the Man Upstairs to look after your father.
My deepest condolences, Fyrfighter. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Prayers for you and your family, sir.
Thanks, y’all, for stepping up and answering the calls of late. I’m humbled and proud to be associated with such a group of great folks. I sincerely hope this is the last one of these I post. Unlikely, and I won’t hesitate to do so again. But one can hope.
Thanks again for the post Ed, and T second your comments whole-heartedly. Thank you all, the prayers and thought truly do mean more than you know.
So sorry to hear this news Fyrfighter….
Know that the Mrs. and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and we send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to your father and you have our sincere condolences for your loss.
Best to you and yours…
Mr. and Mrs. VoV
Thanks VoV and Mrs. I hope your Father In Law is doing better as well. Will be checking on him in a bit, after they do morning rounds at the hospital, I’ll post updates if there are any.
Hey Fyr, I am living proof that all the prayers from this bunch of degenerates really does work! It worked for me and I know it will work for you and your family! All of our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
May God bless you and yours!
Take care,
Willy
All the best to your Dad!
Update – I mentioned before I was tracking down an old friend from whom I expected bad news due to his liver compromising his immune system. Turned out his cell died and staying home all the time, he postponed replacing it and is in good health. (He claims the record for lost helmets in Vietnam – got tasked to carry the radio and said “every time we took fire I hit the dirt, the radio whacked my helmet, and there it went. One time I had my chin strap fastened and it almost broke my neck! So after that I just lost a lot of helmets!”)
So a bit of good news.
Good deal David, glad to hear it
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Prayers and best wishes to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your losses, Fyr, and hope your dad is doing better today. I’ll shoot you an email again, just in case you no longer have mine – you’re not that far, and I’m happy to come by to help in any way, or bring you anything you might need.
Sounds good LC
So sorry for your loss already, and am sending positive thoughts and prayers for your dad!
Thanks HA
Just a quick update, Dad was sent home today. On oxygen, and on major activity restrictions, but damn happy to be home. Let him settle in today, I’ll get to call tomorrow and see how he’s doing.
And thanks much for all the thoughts and prayers! No doubt in my mind they had a major impact.
Thanks for the update, Fyr, that’s great news!
Taking it slow ain’t easy! Sure am glad he’s home.
Thank the Almighty.
Great news!
Indeed it is. Good to hear it.
Wonderful!
Good thoughts, prayers, and silent support continue.
That’s good news, Fyr…
