Another of Ours Hit Hard

| April 21, 2020

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

Praying for you and yours…

OWB

Prayers have continued for you and yours throughout this. It is so very frustrating that we can’t do more to support you. May the knowledge that you are not on this journey alone be sufficient to give you a bit of comfort in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Please tell you Dad that your buddies and pals are with him, and with you. And enjoy the time you can carve out to be with him.

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.

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…

Fyrfighter

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

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

David

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.

Fyrfighter

Good deal David, glad to hear it

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.

Fyrfighter

Sounds good LC

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.

Fyrfighter

And thanks much for all the thoughts and prayers! No doubt in my mind they had a major impact.

Roh-Dog

Taking it slow ain’t easy! Sure am glad he’s home.
Thank the Almighty.
