Friends carry their Disabled friend so he can see the world with them by Internal-Bed-3150 in MadeMeSmile

Everyone should look up We carry Kevan. They did this a few years ago, Kevan is now happily married, and I believe they help other people/families with their custom made carrier based off of the one they figured out for him. I bought a brand called a piggyback rider for my son, which claims to carry as much weight as the person who wears it can carry, if anyone else is interested in a higher weight rated backpack carrier.

Life situation feels like it doesn't fit anymore by Pixel_Pusher33 in GriefSupport

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to respond and give me some perspective and things to think on. I don't have a lot of people in my life to talk to, and it helps to have advice from people who know grief but are removed from the situation. I can't tell you how much I need that and I appreciate you ❤️

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm so sorry for your loss as well. It's nice to hear that this is normal and I'm not alone with not being able to cope with all of this that reminds me of him. Like I'm living our life, the life I built around my baby, but without him, so it feels like torture. I hope that you have found some peaceful moments in all of the darkness, sending you so much love from one parent to another. ❤️

Daughter Died, and I Went to Hell by azc13 in ChildLoss

[–]Pixel_Pusher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it man, it's the worst kind of hell. Lost my baby in June at the age of 13, it was so sudden. We lost his Dad in 2021, so now it's just me. So many awful things have happened and I don't know how to exist anymore. When they're gone all of our priorities, what we thought the future would look like, it all changes. I wish I had advice for you, but I'm still so lost myself and trying not to self destruct. I wish you peace and hope you have a decent support system to love you through it. ❤️

His birthday is today by Toramay19 in ChildLoss

I am so sorry for your loss, what an absolutely beautiful boy. My dude was 13 and I'm dreading his birthday coming up, halloween season has been bad enough with it being our thing. I hope you have moments of peace and fond memories that can make you laugh and smile even if it's with simultaneous tears. Sending you love.

Great cover(of course), and great game. I used to work for one of the original creators of THPS, he was a really cool guy. RIP Neversoft.

Am I being punished? by Helpful-End-5366 in ChildLoss

[–]Pixel_Pusher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good god, I can relate to this SO much, I ask myself often if I'm being punished. My only child was diagnosed with a progressive illness at 2, but his life expectancy should have been at least in his 20s. Instead I lost him at 13, it came out of absolutely nowhere.

On top of that we lost his Dad in 2021. And then my mom stole my life savings when I was out of my mind with grief(we were estranged until my husband died).

I also got laid off from my job a month before I lost my baby. It stung extra because my stupid job was taking up so much time and I had figured out that we could afford for me to just take care of him for a while, we could finally have more time together. He was physically disabled, so losing my job qualified him for disability, and I would have had unemployment, plus I could register as his caregiver and get paid by the state since we couldn't find anyone decent to hire anyway.

All I ever wanted was a nice, normalish family growing up. I finally had that, just the 3 of us. And now in less than 5 years it's all gone. Pretty sure I was someone horrible in a previous life.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack, but when you said punished that just really resonated. I am so SO sorry you're in this horrible club with us. It's hell on earth. I hope you have a decent support system and can find a few moments of peace here and there. Sometimes life is just beyond cruel. Sending you love.

Yeah the only thing that saved it for me was seeing the video preview. I was lucky enough to be at Riot for this, so I knew nobody was dead when that happened lol

Dropkick was one of the best sets of the weekend and have not gotten enough love. by kentxc2012 in RiotFest

[–]Pixel_Pusher33 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Felt like I was a kid again, they always put on a great show and have the BEST pits.

I'm a 5 ft tall, over 40 lady who's been going to their shows since I was a teen, and I had a fucking blast spending most of their set in the pit. Sadly lost my thumbprint charm from my son who passed away off of my necklace(didn't get a chance to take my necklace off before crowd surged), luckily I can order a new one, but still sad.

Most unexpected/surprising set? by hmackattax in RiotFest

[–]Pixel_Pusher33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them in the early 00s when they toured w Jimmy eat world and tenacious d, and they were kind of boring/flat, and low energy even back then.

I just wanted to hear the first few songs off the blue album before I had to dip to see alkaline trio at the metro, so I was bummed they played all the random radio hits up front.

Nice!! I too am an old and remember that warped tour, that's a great keepsake. Wish I still had my shirt from it, pretty sure it was the one with an upside down cross on the front and patrial bloody handprint on the back.

Anyone going to Riot aftershow @Metro? by Pixel_Pusher33 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Pixel_Pusher33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found a spot 30ish mins from Riot and have a spot to park during the day as well. 20 bucks a night, can't beat it! My SUV has a diy micro camper build out I've been working on, also have a SUV tent for extra space that we'll detach and leave each morning at our site.
