SmootSmack
 

Anyone heard form him? I know some of you guys know each other off the board as well.


I was just wondering if him and his family were doing [I]ok[/I] considering the situation. I realize it is very personal but his comment really rattled me the other day and has stuck with me these past few days. I am just praying that his family is pulling through.


Any who prayers out to SS and his family.

Re: SmootSmack
 

Same here. That message he gave almost teared me up. I hope he's doing ok.

Re: SmootSmack
 

I haven't been on the warpath in awhile. What post are you guys talking about? SS and I are friends off the board.

Thanks cpayne. Wow, I didn't realize he was going thru so much. Very sad. A guy like SS doesn't deserve to go thru something like that.

Re: SmootSmack
 

I know the holidays are always hectic for everyone, and SS is going through a lot, plus he just relocated for work purposes, so he has a full slate.

I know he always posts regularly around here when he has the time, and I also know that he really appreciates all the thoughtful posts during his ordeal.

Re: SmootSmack
 

Hey guys. I'm here. My worst fears came true this week as we lost our baby. I have to believe he's in a better place now, but it hurts nonetheless. I was supposed to bring my son home, not his ashes. And now my days and nights are filled with memories of things that never even happened. Taking him to his first game, teaching him how to tie a tie, letting him sit on the SportsCenter desk. I wander around aimlessly these days. But I know this will take time, though it doesn't make things any easier.

Still, others have suffered too. My heart aches for Monkfan's friend who lost his daughter in a house fire, or BleedBurgundy who, with his wife, had waited for the right time to have their baby and lost theirs too.

Our pregnancy was a surprise and I took it for granted. Now I know I won't next time and as scared I am about the next time I know we're ready.

I'll start responding in the locker room again soon. I have some thoughts and insights

Re: SmootSmack
 

Words can't describe my sadness for you and yours. Thanks for taking time from your grief to let us know what happened.

When the time comes, there is no doubt you will be an amazing father.

We love you man.

Re: SmootSmack
 

I wanted to thank all of you for your kind words here and in the many PMs I've gotten too

Re: SmootSmack
 

...........you were missed
You will never have fears or pain greater than what you are feeling now.....those of a child. I can do nothing but pray for you, your wife and your child.
That has already been done.

Hey man. I know things must be pretty tough for you right now but you are right, now you will be better prepared when your wife does get pregnant again.

And you shouldn't come back because we all like you and want you around here to share your insights. You should come back when you're ready. I'd have a hard time thinking about the Redskins at a time like this, but if you can take the time out to visit the boards at a time like this it just proves you're a stronger man than me.

I'm so sorry man. I can't imagine. It will take time but things we return to normal for you. You won't forget but it won't hurt as much. Here's hoping those days come sooner than later. Prayers.

Re: SmootSmack
 

SS, sorry to hear it man. Here's to happier days in 2011 for you.

In a lot of ways you've already been a great dad over the past weeks and months. You'll be great when the day comes.

Who knows what my thread title would have been. I was in the extreme anger phase just a couple of days go. I was deliberately bumping into people on the subway, trying to get someone, anyone, to fight. Nobody did, which is good, I made some unwise bumps.

Re: SmootSmack
 

Sorry to hear the outcome; like Schneed said you'll be ready/great when the time is right. I hope you two stay strong, I know that you know this but you need to be really supportive of her in every sane way possible right now. We have a new year amongst us and I hope that your family finds it to be prosperous.

SS, my ex-wife and I had a child not make it through the first trimester (a very shaky time for every pregnancy), it sounds like yours went further. Our second pregnancy was a boy, born early and immediately went into NICU (newborn intensive care) and nearly died. As my profile pic shows, he survived, and we had two more awesome kids(my next two also were early but were given medication invitro that kept them stable at birth. I hope you and your wife will be equally blessed. It is a hard time, you know that, but it's not a sign or symptom, and you and yours will recover possibly with abundance.

God speed sir.

Re: SmootSmack
 

SS very sorry to hear this (I didn't notice the original thread). My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

Re: SmootSmack
 

Man, I've been away for a minute. But I'm sad, very sad, to read all of this. I've had my share of family emergencies this year, so I can somewhat relate to your pain. Time, distractions, and good friends are the way forward.

We're here for you.

Re: SmootSmack
 

SS sorry to hear the news don't let your grief turn to anger it is a horrible road to go down.

I believe god has good plans for you in the future, please hold on.

My condolences to you and your wife SmootSmack. Sorry to hear this news. Hope that time heals what it can.

Sincerely,
Tim

Re: SmootSmack
 

So sorry SS. We all love the Redskins but things like this remind us what is really important. My prayers are with you and your wife.

It does, and I always talk about how inconsequential games are in the grand scheme of our lives. But I'll tell you through all this, it was a nice relief/temporary escape to watch the Skins play for a few hours yesterday. Made better by the fact they actually competed.
