I know this is easier said than done, but you need to attempt to quit playing this over and over in your head. That's not a good thing to be doing right now.

Is there someone close to you that you can spend some time with? Or better yet, someone that you can go see and spend a few days with? Now is the time to be close to others that you can share your grief with. Do not lock yourself in seclusion and dwell on this.

listen to Silverback. He is absolutely right.

Hey Stan, you are absolutely correct, it could have been you or anyone of us. Try not to dwell on his death, instead dwell on his life. Remember the good times, and try to laugh. It isn't easy, but you can do it. Surround yourself with friends and mourn and celebrate Jonny's life.

Know that he looked into your eyes and felt the love before he left. I am sure that gave him comfort, and he did not face this alone. You too should feel comfort from that.

being that i have just come back from sea and dont know you, but i am sorry for your loss. i am sure it is very heavy in your mind as you saw it all first hand, but sometimes the decision rest fully on the individual. this seams to be one of those times you couldnt do anything about it.

remember that everyone in this forum is willing to help. i know that is true.


You are so right
 
Wow, it just goes to show enjoy everything you have now. It can be gone when you least expect appreciate everything and live it up. I feel your pain man, like Bob said remember the good times.

Rest In Peace Johnny

Stan , sorry . Things happen beyond our comprehension.And we only can accept. Most of the time it's far from our home, suddenly among friends or loved ones. Don't surch for a fault , there isn't one. Don't blame your potential truck , it's the driver that's make the difference but a coincidence of facts at a moment can dicide different and destroy dreams in seconds. Jonny's faith was there and nothing in the world you could do about it. Nobody.

Norbert and family.

Can't add anything better than this.You were there for him when he left,and hard as it is for you,know that you helped him.I will say a prayer for you and for his family.
 
Stan,

Sorry for your loss.

You were chosen, I believe, to be with your friend when he died. That is why you had the conversation with him just before his
crash and acted as you did to be there for him.

im definately not alone. i have all the wonderful people here to support me and my amazing girlfriend by my side. she hasnt left me since the accident. the police made me see a phyciatrist today and that helped a little bit. but i said this to everyone not for the reason of telling a story. i want everyone to read this and learn from it. ive learned a LOT in the past 45 days since THE incident, and this taught me more than anything. i passed the scene today on my way to work, and it damn near killed me. it hits so hard because i never actually saw someone die before. its so much differant than reading it in the paper, or seeing it on tv, or even passing a accident on the highway. ill be ok, but i hate the fact that noone understands but me. i SAW it happen, but my other friends didnt. they say he knew better and it was his mistake, but then they went out tonight and decided to go street race. im sick of seeing my friends pass away because of this. in my town, im the top dog sort of speak. everyone wants a piece of me. every night someone bugs me to no extent to race. i think that may also be the reason everyone wants to race. they know im fast, faster than most. but what they dont understand is im smart. i do it at the track. they see no differance between the track and a good straight. the differance is that its a closed road, with medical help and safety crews on site. there aren't deer to jump out. there isnt gravel or bumps to throw your vehicle out of control. what i keep telling them is that anyone can drive straight, but what happens when you have to turn? they dont think about that or care. o well thats what cars have brakes for is what they say. i dont know im just rambleing now.
 
I really dont now what to say ....just dont blame yourself...

You and his family are in our prayers my friend....

Stefan....
 
Stan,

My thoughts are with you and your friend's family. It's always a tragedy when someone passes on but it just makes it worse when it could have been prevented.

Your doing the right thing in your town by setting the example and I pray that your friends will learn before another senseless tragedy occurs.

Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
 
wow, I'm so sorry for your loss! that story hit me harder than even those awful accident pictures. god bless
 
id get pics but i cant see the car. not that im not allowed to, i wont. the car is not that bad. ive seen MUCH worse.
 
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. (no big surprise there!)

ive learned a LOT in the past 45 days since THE incident, and this taught me more than anything.

I thought this just happened on the 27th. ? Did I miss something else?
 
Wow. I am sorry dude. My prayers and thoughts are with you, your families, Johnny and his families. I dont have any more of words I am very shocked because he is 1 year older than me. May his soul rest in peace.

Real sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and it's even harder being there . I think even though he did something stupid he knew his good friend was there for him at the end .
Now as for the Female problems all I will say is better to find things before the wedding bells ring . Your new Myspace layout seems to lead me to think you are moving on <G> At my age I get to look back at all those things I thought were soooo bad at the time only to later learn I really dodged the bullet. Wife still loves to rib me after having an ex-girlfriend drop over after almost 40 years and looked at me and chuckled and said boy you lucked out ,hahahahah .
Have A Kind Day
Mike
 
Very sad. Sorry for your loss Stan.
