How would you handle facing certain death? ☹️

Mark passed away Thursday evening.

God bless the entire Carriker family. May Mark rest in peace with our creator. He was a true inspiration in how he faced this situation from the very beginning. Prayers for his wife, 2 babies and the entire family.

As I was reading this thread I thought about several of our members, two being JP and Double Bogey. There are others.

If you go into the woods and don’t walk back out it can be natural. We had a forester who was cruising some land with a close friend. I guess the owner was getting two cruises for a division or something. His friend did not show up at the agreed spot for lunch our guy went to find him. There he was, where he had died, sitting against a tree on the road, where he could be seen. He had his tally book out, facing some beautiful mixed timber and a little note to him. Not the worst way to go out.

Honestly if I was facing certain death, I would be proud to say I faced it like one of our own, JP Bruni, did. If I ever face that situation he will be my inspiration.

Everyone thinks they will live a long life and die at an advanced age. Well, it doesn't always work out that way. I will be 64 next month, and i am 4 years into a 2 to 10 year prognosis. At this time, i fell like 2 to 10 years from today is more like it. As long as i can maintain some quality of life, i would just as soon continue on with it. Don't believe i will take that walk into the woods, but when the time comes who knows how one would feel.
I have always been of the opinion that suicide was not for me, but woe be it to those sob's who might be driving me there. And i am still of that opinion.
Most of my regrets will be not seeing all of my grandchildren into adulthood. Spending lots of time with them and trying to influence their lives as much as i can. Sure do wish i would have had a reason to go in and have a ct, or scan, i had zero symptoms until i had back pain, from tumor on my spine. I have 2 friends who have the same thing, but had early diagnosis and are fine with only losing a kidney. Luck of the draw i guess.

Matt finally posted a video about his brother Mark’s passing. Sad deal all the way around. Cancer sucks!

First off, how does anybody get sinus cancer and what in the world would cause that?

Prayers up for your buddy.

This is what my FIL had. Highly aggressive. Diagnosed in October, passed the first week of January. Took him from being a highly active 200 lb 68 year old to 150 lbs in that short time. Horrible to watch. First symptom was an eye that kept watering that he chalked up to allergies at first.

Prayers Up!!
