I found out last night that a close friend of mine hasnt got long to live. Theres something wrong with his cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the doctors said theres only been five other cases in the history of Queensland. I just really need a hug. Crying or Very sad

but he needs a miracle. im not religious, but if anyone could ask whoevers up there to spare him some slack, hes has a hard bit of pie already and deserves to live. I know death is part of a whole big process and that everyone must die, i tell people that it will happen eventually, but my mate is only 18, i dont know but thats pretty young to be whisked off, dont you think?

Only FIVE?

I know anything I say will probably only make things worse, seeing as I don't talk to people enough to know what's helpful and what's more depressing, but...

Everyone has a purpose. Maybe he was put here to teach you about life, and how fragile that is. Maybe you were meant to be his friend to tell the world how important this disease is, and friendship and what not. But now that you know he only has a few months, you can make the most of them. When Rowdy died, it was sudden and while in perfect health. It shakes you to your core, to the point where even the most heartless of people show they have feelings when you find out a friend of yours has died so suddenly...when you have a few months, you can brace yourself for it...

We can't mess with what The Big Man who Lives Upstairs wants to happen. It's strange, really - you spend your life wondering whether there's a heaven, a god, whatever, and then when the realisation hits you that death is a BIG thing, we're scared of the eternity of it all. Whatever happens to him, God's looking out for him, y'can be sure of that. Maybe God didn't cause the problem- it's not a perfect world we live in, but he can definitely cure it. Sometimes, and this is the sad thing - the only way you can cure something is by letting go of this life and leaving it behind. Having said that, your friend is definitely in safe hands Smile

When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

aww. thats so sad.

I guess all that you can do is make the most of the next few months... make sure that he remembers you, and that you remember him, no matter what happens, for the rest of time.

Cram the next few months full of happy fun times, so that in the years to come you can look back... And while you may cry about the premature loss of your friend, you can also smile because you know that you had so many good times together.

I am sending so many hugs your way!

Let him know that he is within the hearts of the figments.

Yeah, these holidays we are going to be spending so much time with him, however at the moment some friends and i have realised that circumstances surrounding this issue are rather grey, the doctors arent even doing anything, so we need to find out more. Im hardning up and looking for some hope. Itll be great if he's bullshitting us Very Happy

thats what im severely hoping. Sad

SMILE ME!

SMILE!

You know what they say, the good die young.

I'll say some prayers for him. I hate it when doctors sit back and do nothing.

Hugs for Aurora and friend.

Which is why I'm going to live forever.

My grandfather died when I was 4 (I remember the night so vividly...it was hectic, confusing...) and one of my best friends when I was 13 (Rowdy...) but the way my mind works it only tells me they've gone on vacation or something...I can't seem to concept death...which I suppose could be a plus, but people hate you for it.
