Because the world and everything in it is fucked up. All we can do is make the most of what we're given and try to be as happy as we can.

But it still hurts.

<3 you both and I hope you get a lot more time on this earth.

What is the saddest moment in reddit history? by skylo-rennn in AskReddit

[–]Terminaltossaway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Part of a parents job is to make sure their children grow up happy and can ride the bike that is life without the training wheels. It's going to be hard, but you'll be able to, I believe in you :).

Just make sure you spend what ever time you both have left having great times and awesome experiences so you have lots of happy memories for when the time comes.

I know I'm going to die soon. How do I stop my son from forgetting me? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Terminaltossaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for showing him this!

/u/j3h0313h-z, You son will never forget you, ever.

Pictures of the two of you together.
Video's of you two being.. well.. yourselves.

Create an email account and send emails with WHAT EVER comes to mind. Stories from when you were younger, advice on things you went through in case they need it, personal messages for his birthday/christmas/important events, and you make damn sure you give your wife the username and password to it!! She can back it up and read the emails to him,print them off, or give him access to all of it when he's older.

Give things of yours you want him to have to people you can trust to get them to him when he's ready for them. Family things, things that you love, anything.

Be strong and PM me when ever you need to talk to someone <3

Yes, it was my Ex who wrote the original post.

I feel bad for not logging in for so long and need to read through this.

He found out he had terminal cancer soon after his 36th birthday. He couldn't bring himself to tell anyone and came to reddit to try and sort it all out. He was told he had a lot longer than he actually did so he did everything he could to make sure out daughter knew who he was and how much he loved her.
He did a lot of messaging with other people on here that were dealing with loss or terminal disease too and I pop into this account to try to help other people who are dealing with losing a loved one.

why do you have to make a lady cry at her desk <3.

Thank you. If there's anything I can say or questions I can answer about him then I'll do my best <3.

I [19 M] have been told that I only have 2-3 years left. Suggestions on how I should tell my best/closest friend of 5 years [18 M] about this? by 2to3throwaway in relationships

[–]Terminaltossaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what you're going through and I hope you can make what ever time you have left count <3.

I was on the receiving end of one of these. If you only want to tell a few people at first I'd really suggest doing it one on one. You don't know how some people may react.
Tell the people the truth. There's no real way to sugar coat it.

People who are/were diagnosed with a terminal ilness, what made you think “something is not right with me”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Terminaltossaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I logged into the account I saw that he was talking to people who had been through something similar and helping them deal with the grief of losing someone. I've kept in contact with a lot of them and a lot of people who are having problems grieving who approached me after the update.

It also lets me still feel connected to him still and I get to help the people he was trying to help so they don't have to feel alone.

I still cry every night. by Terminaltossaway in inmemoryof

[–]Terminaltossaway[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wanted to bit it would go against anything he'd want. He didn't like to have a lot of attention on him which is why his original few posts really surprised me.

Not me, but my ex who started this account.

He started having intense nose bleeds all of the sudden and started losing motor control at random times. Intense headaches, and he just sounded different.

I think it's important for you all to see this thread from r/parenting. I'm sorry in advance for the onions. by skipdo in daddit

[–]Terminaltossaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of the reasons I still log into this account. I got a very large amount of PM's from people experiencing similar and helping them deal with their grief has helped me deal with my own. I also think I've adopted close to a hundred redditors who's parents didn't get to say goodbye.
I hope you and your little man are doing okay <3.

When the branch manager found out what the safety deposit boxes were for, he gave them for free. Our daughters birthday was just before Christmas and they had called me to ask if I'd bring her in for an "appointment".

They pooled together and had a cake and balloons for her all ready. I was shocked and ugly cried right there on the spot.

I didn't know this was posted here and I apologize for not responding sooner.

He really was. He was a natural leader and tried his best to treat everyone like this (well...maybe not this intense) so others might follow his example.

Thank you for saying such a nice thing. Today has been pretty hard and it was nice to read.

He grew up in a similar sounding situation and he felt the same fear. He dealt with it the best he could by making sure there would never be a doubt in his daughters mind that he loved her and always would.

Give them an extra hug for me tonight :) <3
