Sorry to hear this. Rough week all around I guess. Found out today that one of my Cousin's back in Detroit passed on. Hoisting brews at his local watering hole and fell off the bar stool dead as a hammer. Male WAN's either die in their 50's or 90's and he took the fast path.
What can you really say? God goes with you and will look after you and I wish you all the luck in the world.
Wow. Sorry to hear of your cousin. Fair to assume that he died reasonably happy. ?
As for the other part, I hope you're 61 years old. 50's or 90's? 50's are the stick, 90's is the carrot.
You know what my response is.
To soften it, Have you spoken to him in the last 8 years? If not, what's another 40 years of not talking.
I will never speak to some people ever again. I am confident in my decision-making capabilities and I have made the decision that they are not worth that time because of things they have done to me and how they have not taking responsibility for those things. It is their problem, not mine. I'm just avoiding taking on any additional emotional burdens because of what stupidity they would bring into my life.
If that reinforces your desired outcome to justify not talking to the asshole, great.
If, after he dies, you have regrets about that, there's always the spirit box or Tyler Henry who can help you.
Oh I get that. I really do. No regrets either way. That is the gift of indifference in my particular case.
I just love it when someone says ''well, they've never done anything to me''. Well no, not yet.
And then there's that.
Anyways, I cracked a lovely amber ale and gently poured it into a perfectly chilled mug.
Flipped a coin, called Heads! (I always call heads) Heads meant that I call the... human being.
Of course his
handler wife answered. To my surprise she was somewhat pleasant about it.
Her - "I'll ask him if he wants to talk to you"
Me - "I'm good either way, this is a simple well wish" "nothing more"
LOL Heard her ask him if he wanted to talk to me while holding out the phone somewhere between them. Heard him say "no" without missing a beat. Sort of what I expected.
I started to giggle as I was about to hang up as suddenly he says "hello" she must have shoved the phone in his face.
I simply told him that I was aware of his situation and that I would be thinking of him tomorrow (surgery day) A little small talk that even resulted in a giggle from him. #Levity
Can't say that I feel any different no matter how it went, but I
did call the guy Dad for most of my life, and I figure the good outweighs the bad. Wife and I thrived after the 2016 court stuff so in essence we lost the original battle but won the big picture war in a way that we couldn't have imagined. Perhaps feeling that I had the last laugh is part of why I was compelled to call with some modicum of support.
On a completely separate note, that fucking beer is one of the best I've ever tasted.
