Sorry to hear about that Marvin. I imagine it's really tough but hang in there, man! You'll get better if you try. Nothing can overcome the strong-willed human spirit.
 
I commend your son ! This must be hard on him.
I don't know his name and if he reads this thread tell him we all are proud that he is there for you and the rest of the family.:salute:

To your son Marvin, Sir you will be doing allot around the house, If you see anything out of place or feel you are needed I know you will step in and take care of it or help someone with there problems.
Something tells me you are a 25 year old in a 16 year old body. :angel5:
Your father is very proud of you and your
wisdom will grow tremendously during this time.
Stand tall for him and your family and give your dad a big hug for us all.

I have been in your shoes when I was 17, My uncle had tree young children.
and a home to take care of.

sorry if I got out of place here, I could not help it:sad4:

Marland

This is just a heads up for the board.

One of our longtime members has suffered a stroke. 70Dart, (Marvin), in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Although I don't know all of the details, ( I have only PM'd with Marvin this morning), Marvin suffered a severe stroke recently and woke up 4 days later in the Saint John hospital. He is paralyzed on his right side. He is starting therapy tomorrow.

If I get any other details, I will fill you in.

GET WELL SOON MARVIN!!!!!! And don't be afraid to call me.

Marvin, wanted to wish you a full and speedy recovery. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
 
My thoughts are with you, I hope each day is better than the previous one, hang in there.
 
Hope you have a full and speedy recovery Marvin. Life is precious. I hope yours and your familys are long and happy ones. Mike
 
Thank you so much every one of of you
i appreciate all of yous and you great words of encouragement. My sister submitted my storey to overhaulin' since it would be a long time before I can get back to it myself. THANKS SO MUCH GOD BLESS!
 
Glad to hear you are doing ok, Marvin. Get well.

I know how it is, well kinda, as my mother is injured badly, with her leg broke being bruised up from a fall down the stairs, so I have been helping out with her.

Should be a wake up call to us young, crazy folk who take life for granted. It is preciuos, so be careful, enjoy it to its fullest and live each day likes it your last. Life is too short and fragile to waste away.
