Need Prayers and a thank you to the Huddle

I usually don't do things like this but basically need to vent. My step dad is dying. He was diagnosed pancreatic cancer over a year ago so I feel fortunate that he has made it this long, but it has now started to spread and vital organs are starting to malfunction. I was just with him these last few days. He was hanging in there but clearly struggling but he was still making plans for one last big get together with the family in October. I just got back home and within hours of walking in the door he has been rushed to the hospital.

My mother is the only one down there to care for him when us children cannot be there (they live on the Crystal Coast) She is in complete denial, is depressed, and has basically turned a borderline useless alcoholic. She is supposed to be taking care of him but some days she doesn't even get out of bed. It has created resentment toward her throughout both families, ours and his. As his health declines so does hers. She has developed acute asthma and at times has trouble breathing.

This has been a tough time for me and my family. Those of you that are religious I ask for your prayers for my family, and those that are not please just send us quiet wishes of strength for him and my mom.

Also want to thank you guys and gals on the Huddle. This place is always a welcome distraction. Arguing about Cam Newton or talking poo about Rivera is always a way to get my mind off of real problems. No matter if we go 0-16 there is always more important things (although losing fugging heartbreakers like last week is rough on the nerves as well). But this place always give me something to laugh about or debate about and that is always welcome.

Again, I don't usually do threads like this but am just venting off some emotion as I await to hear back from the folks at the hospital. Hopefully he will be back to his house by Sunday because he still enjoys cheering on the Panthers.

Thanks and sorry this is so long and glum. Go Panthers!

My thoughts are with you, brother. As a survivor and someone who's dealt with the C in more ways than most, I know what you're going through.

 

Might I suggest hospice assistance to help provide care? And Mom needs to get help, too. The emotional and physical burden of caring for him is obviously too much.

Yes. Hospice will be coming as soon as he leaves the hospital.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
