Subject: I Apologize For Whining...Especially This Month

Written By: RockandRollFan on 04/04/05 at 10:24 pm

To ALL of you who have known me since I joined in January 2002 and to all the other wonderful people I've met in this wonderful time since then....please know that I am truly sorry for the near constant sadness I display around here especially in April. For those who aren't aware....my 17 year old son Blaine was murdered during a robbery on April 26, 2001 at a subway restaraunt. I used to love this month as it represented the start of Spring, the beginning of baseball, the end of dormancy for trees, flowers...nature, my ex wifes birthday (23rd) our wedding anniversary (24th)...but now all it reminds me of is death. :\'(

I'm sorry, and I don't see it as whining. I see it as wanting support for a terrible tragedy.  Post away, Mark :)

Chin up Mark and do the best you can bro. I don't see any whining going on, what I see is a guy with a personal tragedy that needs support from his friends. NO APOLOGY NEEDED you can't keep it bottled up all the time or you will only make yourself sick.
You keep talkin' and we'll keep tryin' to make you smile. :)

P.S. - I hope you don't mind but I have stolen your candles and added them to my sig line as a show of support for the month April. ;)

I certainly wouldn't classify your subject as 'whining', Mark...

I hope what all the good people here have said has eased the burden somewhat (although it will never disappear completely...for Blaine's memory, it shouldn't do...)

You shouldn't have to apologize for your feelings.  As your friends we should try to be a little understand at this time. :)

Although I cannot understand what you are going through, I can understand that this month is very hard for you.  If you need someone to talk to I am here.
