Dj might be MIA for a few days...

[LouCipherr]

Hey everyone, just wanted to drop a note here in General Discussion to let everyone know that Dj may not be around for a few days. His mom passed away early this morning, so he's dealing with all that is involved in such matters. I talked to him today on the phone a few times - he's doing as well as can be expected. He said he would've came here and posted this himself, but he just isn't in the mood to be social, so I told him I would at least let everyone know what's going on in case people start to wonder why he's missing. Dj - If you do read this anytime soon, I'm sorry for your loss, man. Unfortunately, I know how it is to lose a parent, and it's nothing short of a pure shit feeling. If there's anything I can do, you know how to get a hold of me.

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure all of us internet friends here at HPotD are here if you need us.

[ProfessorChaos]

bummer, man. i've still got both my parents, not ready to think about what that's gonna be like...probably one of the toughest things a person's gotta go through, short of losing a spouse or child. i remember dj talking about his mom and her health problems when i met him at con-tamination earlier this year...he said she was in a bad way, but i imagine it's still something that no amount of preparation can ease. my sympathies and best wishes, dj....hang tough, bro. they say time heals all wounds....

[Danny]

Shit, came close to experiencing this myself last year so i can imagine a little fraction of how he feels. My condolences Gary.

Gary: I'm sorry for your loss, my friend. I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers. j.p.

[AcesandEights]

Aw, christ. That's horrible news. DJ, if you see this, my sympathies to you and yours for your loss.

i remember dj talking about his mom and her health problems when i met him at con-tamination earlier this year...he said she was in a bad way, but i imagine it's still something that no amount of preparation can ease. Yeah, she had been on a very rocky/bumpy road for quite a while now. I was always hoping she'd get better and fix some more of those kick-ass, world famous meatballs she always made while we were on set making the movies. Those fucking things were the best bar none.

Gary, Brother, My heart and the hearts of the puppet crew go out to you. I'm more sorry to hear than you know. (My Uncle/Godfather also passed away this morning) You're in our thoughts, friend.

[MikePizzoff]

Sorry Gary, that's terrible. Hang in there, man.

[clanglee]

Oh man. . .Gary nothing I can say really. . .I am sorry for your loss. If you need and moral support, you know we are all here for you. And Billy Ray, the same goes to you too man. I lost my uncle/godfather/good friend last year. . . that was the roughest death I have had to deal with to this point. My condolances to both of you.

gary, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother not so long ago and it is one of the worst things anyone can go through. you are in my thoughts.

[MoonSylver]

Very sad. My condolances to DJ & family. bummer, man. i've still got both my parents, not ready to think about what that's gonna be like... I've thought about it quite a bit, as morbid as that sounds, just because I think I'm trying to mentally prepare myself. My folks arn't getting any younger, and as mush as it hurts to think about, They arn't going to be around forever. Shit, I'm getting teary just thinkin about it now.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your nice words, thoughts and prayers. I do appreciate it, and I know my mom would appreciate the moral support you're giving me. She was a great lady and while we had our disagreements I would give up anything to have just one more day with her to make up for things I had done to upset her. As Lou mentioned she was on a Rocky and Bumpy road. I am however thankful to the hospital staff for making her last moments comfortable so she felt no pain in her passing. I know she would want me to thank all of you for your support at this time... so thank you. Gary

Gary hang in there, dude. i've been down this same road and it might not seem like it now, but most of the pain will drop away (not all of it by any means) leaving you with only the good memories of her. when i think of my mom now the bad stuff never rears its head. i'm left with only the pleasant memories of her. just allow yourself to grieve in whatever manner you need to. the grieving process is painful but very, very healthy in the long run. again, you and yours are in my thoughts.
