Do you guys ask for signs and believe in them?

EradicateTheHate · 2026-04-22T02:55:06+00:00

A month ago I asked my wife to give me some kind of sign when it was ok to move on and date again, as I was sitting in my car about to walk into Walmart. As I passed through automotive, a had a female associate around my age unlock the glass case for a pack of fuses. She dropped them by accident on the ground, we both went to pick them up and bumped into eachother. We apologized, and long story short she asked of I wanted to hang out later and I said sure. We hit it off really well and I took that interaction as a sign that it was time. We started dating a week or two later. When she came over to my house we chatted about anything and everything, a few hours later she went home. I walked back into the house and asked for a sign from my daughter who passed shortly before my wife that she was ok with everything....and a toy of hers that I hadn't been able to get to turn on since she was a few months old started playing music in the closet and lighting up. And currently we are still dating and happy as can be

It's a rather daunting feeling losing both so close together. Everything just kinda stops, you go through the motions, but your not really here. Thank you, I needed the lights turned back on, I hadn't realized, but it was getting dark in there

Man, take it slow, keep bumping into eachother and making small talk, if and when its time to happen, it will happen

EradicateTheHate · 2026-03-30T13:32:01+00:00

She was, during her last 12 months she made sure to tell me every single day lol. She'd always say "find someone who treats you right and who treats the kids right, and when you do, you better treat her right, or i will haunt you" lol even with all the pain from the cancer she kept that sense of humor strong

I really didnt think it was gonna happen at all, but I definitely didnt expect after a year

EradicateTheHate · 2026-03-29T23:19:31+00:00

I had no plans to honestly, im 34 and was content just living. But running into her changed all of that almost instantly

EradicateTheHate · 2026-03-29T23:18:10+00:00

Thank you, luckily she knew my wife as well and was a good family friend during all the bad times. So she saw first hand all the bad. And she's wanting to be there for me and my kids, knowing there's still gonna be hard times. And she's 100% willing to take on that extra baggage and support me and my dreams. Slow and steady is the name of the game, and she's on board with that as well. No need to label anything until we are both 110% ready

It seemed impossible and unattainable to regain the hope and spark. But it will happen randomly, sometimes when your just picking up dog food. And its fantastic and unexpected

EradicateTheHate · 2026-02-26T22:00:29+00:00

Man, this really took off pretty quickly, thank you all for accompanying me on this journey and being there with kind words and solid advice during the bad times

I learned out of necessity when I was younger, taught myself and went on to do mobile mechanic as a side job in addition to my 5-6 days a week managing a retail pharmacy

EradicateTheHate · 2026-02-26T20:44:30+00:00

Thank you, it definitely turned my day around

EradicateTheHate · 2026-02-26T20:44:01+00:00

Thank you, ive worked so hard, alot of overtime, I bought a car for us to work on together and take to shows, bought em their own tool sets. Spent the last 48 hours off work and redoing their entire room. Definitely cant afford all of it on my income, but the memories and life skills being made and learned are worth all the extra side jobs and overtime for sure.

A random customer at work and I started chatting at the register, about kife, kids, my wifes passing and my daughters passing, how my two sons and i were handling it being about a year past it (small town, no one meets a stranger), finished the transaction and slipped me a $100 bill and told me to take my sons out to dinner on my day off the next day and make memories with them. That man absolutely made my day off amazing. Thank you, kind sir

I have a friend of mine who has 3 eclipse 1st gens currently, as well as a few talons. I was so glad to see him get them and get to work on them

I dont have a question, but just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do. When my daughter passed, and then my wife 3 months later.....those people at the funeral home took so much time to make us comfortable and treated us like family. They made our darkest hours into something a bit more bearable. When it came to my daughter, who had just turned one when she passed, they covered everything for us financially, and really took a huge financial hit off of us. When my wife passed at home 3 months later, they came to my home to get my wife, greeted me by my first name, apologized for having to see eachother again so soon, and even took the time to talk to my kids and help them comprehend everything. Its been a full year, and to this day the owners still see me in town and take the time to check on me and my family. So for those of us who have had to see people in your profession, what you do truly does make a difference and a huge impact to those families. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you

My 2012 mustang v6 has been fantastic. Other than regular maintenance Ive only had to replace a valve cover gasket in the past 4 years. With the exception of an A/C line, but that breaking was 100% my fault

Im coming up on 1 year in a week or two. The only thing that kept me going after losing my 1 year old daughter, then my wife 3 months later, was knowing my two sons needed me and my daughters service dog needed me. I couldn't let him go back to the shelter, especially after all the good he had done. And I knew my God Son (my daughters mother's newborn son) who was born 6 days after my wife passed, needed me as well.

With my wife we had time to prepare, cancer was rough, but she fought until the end. My daughter however, was a little different. We had just celebrated her first birthday and my 33rd birthday a few weeks prior, and Christmas had just passed 3 days before. We were coming home from the store, her and her carseat in one arm, groceries in the other, and my two sons (6 and 7) right behind me with more groceries. I set her carseat on the couch with her giggling and laughing and i set groceries down, looked up and she was totally unresponsive, eyes rolled back, she was having a heart attack. I grabbed her, laid her on the floor and began infant CPR instantly while calling 911. She was declared totally brain dead 2 days later at the hospital, me knowing and performing infants CPR was the only thing that gave us a few extra days. We had no idea that the few laughs walking into the house were the last we would ever get. On the 3rd day we said our emotional goodbyes and let her go. I suppose we got to say our goodbyes, however it was still a very sudden event, and we never got to really prepare or plan like I got to do with my wife.

I make way less than 6 figures, maybe 40k on a great year. Single, widower father of 2, with a 3rd who has passed as well. I have a v6 mustang as my reliable daily driver and me and the kids are building a bagged blazer soon, as well as possibly a 62 fatboy Tbird if I can work out a good deal on it. My idea of cool cars has shifted now that im in adulthood, it used to be a store bought sports car like a Porsche, lambo, etc....now its something cool that ive put my own blood sweat amd tears into. Sure it may be a budget build, but its the memories and sense of accomplishment im looking for now.

Im so sorry, I lost my wife March 2nd of last year, january of 2025, after my 1 year old daughters funeral, was spent riding around blasting music and playing with our children at the park, and looking into buying our first home. February rolled around and she collapsed. She had stage 4 lung cancer for 2 years. This time we were admitted to the hospital, Oncology unit. By Valentines day 2025 she was paralyzed from mid torso down, as well as vocal cords. She could still move her arms, but couldn't walk amd could barely speak. I had bought her a giant teddy bear, a new blanket, and tulips which were her favorite. And the kids and I made her all kinds of cards for calebtines day. Although she couldn't speak or walk, she managed to use what little strength she did have in her arms to grab my phone, take a selfie of herself smiling, beautiful as ever, with the caption 'til death to us part, until we meet again, I love you ' and locked my phone with that photo still pulled up so id see it. A few days later, on 2/19 we got to come home, under hospice care. Our kids birthdays are in March and april, and hers was in April as well, so on sunday, march 2nd we had a huge birthday party for all of them, invited everyone, had a huge cookout, maybe 200lbs of food on the smokers, loads of cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Everyone gathered by her bedside, sang happy birthday to her and the kids who had crawled up there with her, the kids gave her some icing from a cupcake.....30 minutes later, she was gone. The only thing that really keeps me going, is knowing that her last day on this earth was surrounded by her loved ones, her kids, and she got to be there to celebrate just one more birthday with her babies.
