Man.....i made it to 54. Never thought i would......sometimes wish i wouldn't have.

Friday my friend Bob took me golfing. I've only played 2 other times in my life (both last year) on a "real" golf course, so it was fun getting to do that. I shot a 118 on a par 72 course, he shot 99. He's been golfing for over 50 years, so i feel i did pretty good for a neophyte.
I actually came about 2 inches short of getting a "birdie" (one under par) on one hole. I did par it, so that was cool. Had 2 REALLY bad holes that cost me alot, shot 11 on both of them.

I had a coupon for a dinner on my birthday, so my wife took me out for that. I felt bad, as she only had soup. But i gave her some of my steak. It was too much for me to eat anyway. Got me a cake, and i ate that like a pig. It was my dog Seth's birthday too. Kind of cool, us both having tha same b-day. He turned 11.
Wife wrote me out a check for "54 dollars".......but i can only carry it around in my wallet. I told her "It will come in handy if we need a tire patch."

No one else in my family even sent me a card.
Oh well......as i always say, "What can ya do?"

For man with such high level of faith, I find it curiously odd how you often state you would rather not be alive. It really throws someone like myself who's admittedly ignorant on most religions for one helluva loop.

I'm tired, Kevin.
It seems i have always have been having to fight. Alot of things i don't even tell anyone.
Fact is, my home in Heaven is there, paid for in full. All i have down here is heartache and pain. It would be easy if life was all "sunshine and roses". And i try to keep on fighting. But the last several years have taken a heavy toll on me. I spent last Monday through Wednesday in bed with a horrible migraine. As you know, my wife lost her job, and she has not been fun to be around. She's down, and gets mad at me it seems at every turn.

Trust me, if i wasn't a believer, i would have killed myself by now.
The only thing that has kept me from doing so is knowing that God would be pissed at me.
I have nothing here, and i have been asking God what my purpose is for still being here. So far, i haven't had any answer.
My wife hates where we live, and blames me for it all the time. I don't feel i have any worth to anyone anymore.
So i ask God to take me.
Yes, i'm sure that seems like a cop out. But if i wrote all that has happened and has been happening, i bet alot would say they can't blame me.
yes, there are many that have it worse then me. I know that. There are many that are stronger then me. I know that too.
I'm worn out. Since my heart surgery, i haven't even been able to think as clearly as i used to.
I have suffered losses, my Dad when i was 16, Mom when i was 33, brother who hated me when i was 36, and more relatives and friends then i can even count. I picked myself up each time.
I always thought that some day i would have a house. Not even a "mansion", just a place to call my own. Now i realize it will NEVER happen. And my wife will never be able to NOT work.
So you may not understand. And i'm sorry if i let you down on that.
But i'm only human, with all the weaknesses of everyone else.

I'm taking a 9 count right now.
Not sure about anything anymore.
No big deal, really.
Sorry for pouring out my bullshit here. No one wants to hear my problems. I'm sure everyone has there own to deal with.
If you want to delete this thread Kevin, you can do so. Seriously, you can get rid of it for me.

You aired out your business, no biggie. I gave my take on it. I think you're a good guy and have a lot to live for. I'm only 30 (but feel like I'm near the end) and this summer feels worse than any other I can recall. The loss of mom is really hitting home hard and I have no one here, nothing to help get my mind off of it. What happened between my dad and how easily avoidable it could have been kills me. Realizing how I raised did me good, but also did me bad. Questioning if I change this about me, will it negatively effect my strong qualities. Basically, I'm going through a lot of personal internal shit right now. So some of what I said, I say to myself as well.

Happy birthday buddy! I know you kids are going through rough times, but in the words of my dad.. "FIGHT!"

I heard a story where a guy crashed in an airplane up in the mountains one time.. Landed in a lake, so he ended up surviving the crash. After realizing he had no radio or a way to contact help, he took the pistol that he had with him and took his life. A few hours later a rescue chopper found his plane and his body. Moral? Sometimes when it feels like you can't go on any longer, you are closer to the end of the tunnel than you think. You just gotta hang in there.

Everyone goes through rough patches, Cheesey.

Yours, this time, is rather extreme, but that will make the point that it all turns around for you all the sweeter.

I'm not as old as you are and haven't experienced as much as you have, but think about every single good contact you ever had. Big chance that they eventually opened up to you and showed what burden they were carrying. Most people just aren't as comfortable hanging their crap in life out as you are. I'm actually quite envious in a way.

Especially a religious man like you should come through this. You always have something to fall back on, something to keep you going as you know there's more for you, eventually. Things will be looking up soon enough, Alan!
