Very Sad

[Joe Bruiser]

Hey everyone, most of you I have known for close to 2 years now. Since I have started rping to be exact, and most of you know that my grandpa has been in poor health for a long time. Well today, on September 11th, 2007, he passed away. This is suppose to be a day where we celebrate America. But not for me, not anymore. For now on, on September 11th, I will always remember my grandpa who was probably the best man that I have ever known. Last Sunday we had to take him to the hospital because he was VERY dehydrated and wasn't eating for going to the bathroom. It turned out he had a infection called Peritonitis(doubt I spelled that right). It is a infection where he gets into your vales and your intestines. It kills them and then they pretty much blow up and your fesis and undigested food goes all in your stomach area. It is a VERY serious disease and healthy people who have never been sick a day in there life have died from it. Unfortunately my grandpa whose name was Donald Ray Minson Sr., was not healthy after for the last 5 years having surviving Cancer twice and a Brain Tumor. He chose to have the tube removed from his mouth as he didn't want to live off of a machine for the rest of his life. I don't know when we will have the funeral arrangements but I do know that I will be gone for a little bit, how long I do not no. I apologize to anyone who I have made plans with and have matches with. Jason, your free to remove me from your Nationwide Battle Royal, as if I win then its not fair to anyone else since they will be active and I won't be for a little while. I really don't know what else to say at this moment. I thank every single one of you for your support ever since I met you, I may not be back in time for Game Over. If I am not then good luck to everyone who will be participating in it. What a year it has been for me haha, all the good with finally winning my first championships in a fed, Tony Stewart winning me some races, The St. Louis Rams AT THE TIME giving me hope that we would have a good team this season after signing alot of good peeps during the off season, finally coming off of my depression that I have been in for such a long time. To the bad in the Virginia Tech Shootings, losing a friend of mine, having an ex Gf who at the time was my gf go through such a terrible time. Threw all of that I am still alive and kicking, how I don't know. But what I do know is all of you that I rp with and talk to on msn have meant a great deal to me. If I don't get to talk to any of you for awhile I apologize and good luck to you each and every one of you. I'll try to come back before Game Over if I can. Thanks everyone for understanding.

Love Ryan

Take all the time you need man, losing a family member is always hard.

It always sucks to hear something like this. Like Stacie said, take all the time you think you need. No one's gonna rush you back as I'm sure we all have at least some understanding of what you're going through right now. Keep that head up partner.

sorry to hear about your grandpa man. I know what its like to lose and almost lose a member of the family. I think we all do, but to have it the same day as September 11th. Its just really upsetting, and I hope you and your family can get through this time. Take care man and come back when you know you are ready.
