LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hey, Guy's just wanted to let you know...My Mother Janet passed away today...She was diag. with lung cancer almost 2 years ago and back 2001 had a massive heart attack as well as a stroke. She defied everything the Doctors told her, they told her and my dad that she might live 2 years after her heart attack, here she was 7 years after the attack and diag with lung cancer, the Doctors wanted to do chemo and she told them to kiss her ass she was going to live her life and go when she was ready and did. My brother(Butch) was diag with Pancreatic cancer and did the chemo and he went within 8 months of diag. My mother and brother are both up with the lord and I will see them some day. I will be scarce for the next couple of days until this is over. I have a large family and have alot to deal with(Any K of C members out there? ) My mother did it her way and I am glad because I think I was able to be with her longer than she would have if she had done the chemo. Sorry Keith.... I just wanted to share with all of you...I consider you all my brothers Thanks God Bless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sorry for your loss Larry - When my dad passed he had been dealing with the worsening effects of emphysema and constant respiratory infections for the better part of two years. He finally got to a point where I believe he decided he had enough and stopped taking his medications and passed soon after. It sounds strange but some people are able to accept death and deal with it on their terms. For me it was easier to take that way I suppose. Sounds like our Mum had her terms as well. Peace be with you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Larry, my wife and I have become experts at losing loved ones... both of our parents and, of course we have a lot of family members that aren't spring chickens any more.... Debbi lost an aunty just this past weekend and we are just waiting for the funeral announcement. It is vitally important that we dwell on the positives in life - and it sounds like you realize that. We remember the good times, the lessons learned and all the things shared - joys, sorrows, laughter and tears. Know that our prayers are with you and your family. Life is a journey... we reach our final destination by placing one foot in front of the other... repeatedly. At the risk of sounding uncaring or crude, One old guy explained life thus.... "From the moment we are born, the only thing that we MUST do is die - everything else in between is optional". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoWilimek Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Sorry for your loss, Larry. Your mother sounds like she was a special person. It is always hard to see someone you love pass away, but at least she is no longer suffering. I have heard of people who took chemo and swore never to do it again(if they survived the first bout of cancer)as the cure was worse than the disease. All our hearts go out to you and your family.

eastendpowerstroke Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 My condolences Larry. Today July 8 isn't a good day in my house either, as it marks the day my wife lost her Mom 18 years ago. She has been without her mom for 1/2 of her life of 36 years so it's been a disturbing milestone today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloney Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I too am sorry for your loss. Both of my parents passed some time back. Dad, after dealing with emphysema, lung cancer,and throat cancer. Mom, after being alone for 5 years, finally lost her battle. You're never quite ready for it. All the memories will come flooding back......enjoy all of them! Just remember, all of their teachings have made you the man you are today. I'm sure they were satisfied that they accomplished what they set out to do. Just continue to make them proud!

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm back to work today, Thanks for all of the kind words and consideration. It was a very tiring week for me and my dad. My siblings weren't much help but we survived and it turned out okay. The only really bad thing about the whole funeral was that my ex-wife and my kids showed up, sounds bad but I'm supposed to be the SOB, they didn't even give me the time of day. It made it difficult to deal with the whole situation. Thanks Again Guys I really appreciate it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Keith, after this please lock this thread....If you guys want to give me a short hello or whatever P/M me please. I did exactly what my mum asked and helped my dad with everything. She also asked me to just ignore my ex and kids with the exception of Sean. My mum asked me to keep Sean out of it,(if you have been around you'll know that Sean is the son I didn't know I had), And I did. I just spent a amazing weekend with him and was the first to find out that I will be a Grandpa for the 2nd time. It looks like it will be around next March. I have 3 kids of which within the last 3 years I have had contact with one of them and been disgusted with the other 2. I want my other 2 kids in my life but been educated on the fact that I can't change what they want or need in thier lives. So...Like my SIG. I am therefore I do.
