A letter to God

Recommended Posts

Well God, here I sit - it's after 1 a.m. and I'm sick as a dog, can't puke anymore cause there isn't anything left in my gut and I'm still trying to throw up, damn head aches, eyeballs hurt and feel swollen, got chills so bad I'm shaking, the depression slaps me in the face and here I go, reading that "show some love" thread again.

It's working cause the sickness lightens up just a bit. Head seems a small amount clearer and I feel loved by so many. God, thank you for putting so many good people in my life. I have no idea what I've ever done to deserve all these wonderful friends that wish me so much love and health. But whatever it was, I'm grateful cause I've never felt so alone as moments when I forget that I'm so fortunate to have these people in my life. So, I'll take a sip of water, force myself to hold it down and pray that I can sleep just a little while, remembering the good thoughts and well wishes of the ones that reminded me that life is still good, and I head off to bed, for about the tenth time tonight, knowing that if I can't see them in person for right now, I'll sure see them in my dreams. Keep me and them safe for one more night and let the guys and girls of Dizzy.com know that I love them, each and every one.

Thank you for that, but really.....this is probably the most difficult time for you, just know all of us at dizzy.com love you too! Sending you more vibes to get through this treatment and on the road to recovery. Sleep tight.....hopefully! I can only imagine what you are going through but hopefully it helps to know you have support and somewhere to express how you are feeling.

Hugs,
J

I spent the weekend at Skydive Tecumseh. I'll tell you one thing..........it certainly reminded me of how close the skydiving community is. There was a lot of sadness there this weekend but as always.......tinted with a sense of family that brings happiness and consolation for the losses. Skydiving is a wonderful thing and it's the people that make it so great. Hope you kick the shit out of this and get back to the oddity we skydivers like to call "normal." ;)

Hey FFF,

I just wanted to send you some good vibes and some love from someone that doesn't know you a bit but feels for you with all her heart.

I know it sucks right now and it's really really hard but just hang in there and fight it. Be strong. You have to.

My thoughts are with you.

Don't start slippin' now, buddy. I've seen what chemo can do to people first hand and I know it feels worse than the cancer itself. This is the time you need to amp up those fighting genes and show what you're made of. It takes a great deal of courage just to start that sort of treatment and now that the bad stuff has begun it's really important that you keep your eye on the prize. Pretty soon the bad stuff will be over and you can get back to jumpin' out of planes with the rest of us crazy bastards - ;)

Hang in there, TrippleF - you know we're all pullin' for ya:)
Peace and good vibes,
Z

FFF, stay focused and stay strong. There are a lot of people you know rooting for you, and a lot of people you've yet to meet. We know you'll never give up and we'll have a beer waiting for you at the next WFFC...

Heal quick.

Hi sweetie. A letter to you.....here I sit reading your post and all I want to do is reach out to you. I want to hold you and make the hurt go away. You mean more to me than you'll ever know. The encouraging words you've given me when I have my doubts about this whole skydiving thing, the ear that always there listening when I tell you about my exploits, the funny stories you tell me about your life (everytime I open a box of tinfoil I think about you!;)), the PM's and emails just to let me know you're thinking of me and your wicked laugh.

You are a beautiful person and I am blessed to call you my friend. Hang in there, sweet man. You can do this. You are loved by so many. Use our strength to help you through.

Loving you,

Laurie

Hey, FFF....hang in there. What you're going through right now sucks, but there are many people who care - some you've met...some you have yet to meet.

I've seen what chemo does to a person. Feel free to lean on those who care. We'll listen...we'll try to make you laugh...we'll try to make it better.

Get well soon. We look forward to you joining us in the air again. :)
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Damn, I didn't know it was the result of chemo you are going through. I figured it was just some kind of virus. What guts you must have.

I still wish for you to feel better fast and be filled with healing vibes.

Be strong man,

Sorry about the speed bumps and pot holes, we can't pave roads up here very well either.
One thing i can do is : give you lots of friends to help you out in times of need.
Oh and tell the skydivers i'm still working on this weather thing.

Just 'bumping' up this thread. I'm hoping the 'puking' is less and the treatments have helped. Still thinking of you and hoping you will beat the odds:)

That's the greatest thing I've heard from god all day.
Nice response.
Bro, love yourself. Remember you are you. You are the only person you will ever truly know. You know you are worth all the trouble it will take to continue being you. Hell yeah!!!
Do it all for yourownself! You are the MAN!

FFF - we haven't met - i hope someday we do...

in the meantime, hang tight. none of us who haven't been through what you're going through can possibly imagine what it's like and what strength you have to continue on.

when i look at the replies from people who do and don't know you, it's obvious to me that none of us in this community are really alone. i hope you feel the strength and well-wishes of everyone here.

for myself, if i can offer any support, let me know. PM, email, even phone - i'm sure i can talk shit long enough to get ya distracted!

they say that g-d never gives anyone more hardship than they can handle - so be strong.

just in the few minutes it's taken to write this, you've helped me. i realize now that my problems are pretty insignificant.

g-d speed for a quick recovery

Thanks Jan.
I'm sorry I don't get on here as often as I used to. I'm a little bit too weak and now sport a Mr. Clean look, thanks to the chemo. I've lost a little more weight, too, but that's to be expected, I guess. I'm still hanging in there, tho, and thanks for all the well wishes.
