the end is near

i just dont know what to do. this is totally silly, but my mind keeps going back to it non-the-less.

three years ago, we had a rough autumn. our baby girl was just 6 weeks old when my husband's best friend died in a house fire. four weeks later was our wedding, two weeks after that my dear dear uncle died rather abruptly. woah! huh!
it was all i could do in that time to remain sane. my emotions were swirling all over the place as i faced life, love and death so closely. when i got back from my uncle's funeral there was this weird air about. come to find out it was because of a conversation had between the brother of the dear friend who died and another close friend.

the brother said "you know we really need to be there for J and the girls, huck is going to die in three years." i didnt know what to make of it. was it a preminition, misinformation or was he just talking out of his ass? i am still unsure of the motivation, but it struck a chord within me. one of the sore spots in my relationship with my husband is his fear that i will disappear. whether it is because i wander off or if my health finally collapses, this has been a serious hurdle for us. to be honest, something in my intuitive side seems to feel that i will go before him. i just pray that isnt for a long time.

so its been three years. i had managed to ignore it for a while, but now that the anniversary of that time is approaching i find it swirling around in my head everyday.

maybe that is what he was talking about? weird to say that one way or another.

I wish people wouldn't say these things out loud, really. How does it help? I'm guessing it was part of all the fear and sadness surrounding your husband's best friend's death, people were facing mortality in a way they found difficult to process.

I like sunflower's story & message-- life *is* fluid, things *do* change. And I hope you have many many many years of life ahead of you.

Que viva Huck!

Why, oh why do people feel the urge to share this kind of information? How scary for you.

what was his basis behind the comment? does he often predict the future or was it just something that came to him?

by a psychic of some sort. Said he was going to die before the age of thirty. Well, he is 36 now, and he survived a brain tumor!

Life is fluid. Things change.

I hope he's just a crazy drunk fucking asshole.
That kind of thing would totally drive me crazy. I know I shouldn't put stock in stuff like that but sometimes I do.
Long live huck!

I don't know what to say other than, don't let it be self fulfilling. And don't let it keep you from living your life to the fullest.

p.s. I'm sending you "staying alive for a long time" vibes.
