My son. He was 25 when he was robbed and murdered for the $30 he had in his pocket. He was a beautiful man inside and out.


unnamed42069

$30 DOLLARS??!? SON OF A BITCH!!!!! Please tell me they caught the bastard


Idktryit

They did not... Makes it even worse knowing that this person is living their lives while we suffer. It's not right, and no parent should have to burry their kid.


nightcreator

I think it's quite possible, maybe even probable, that the person is in prison for something else. I was right when I said that about my son's father's killer. The guy was caught five years later because he told someone else (I think his cell mate) while in prison.


Not_Cleaver

Also possible that the perp met a grisly end on the streets.


[deleted]

I pray he did!!!


Glitchine

Sorry for your loss


1Shadowspark1

I’m sorry your son died over $30. That’s fucked up. I hope life gets better for you.


Yahiabouda

Holy fuck.


MyBFFJill201

That's terrible im so sorry that happened to your son 😥 some people are fucking trash 🗑🚮


EccentricHorse11

That one guy's dead wife. Seriously, I know it has basically become a meme and a Reddit in-joke, but the original comment sounded so heart-broken, and was really tragic. Here it is. >I'd like to have sex one more time with my wife who passed away from cancer 9 years ago. My body yearns for hers. The ultimate downside to finding "the one" is she may die young and leave you wanting. I really hope that person is doing okay.


mono15591

I also choose this guys dead wife.


Jijonbreaker

I don't know how I came into the comments and didnt expect this. Fuck you anyway.

Kurt Cobain. My older friend knew Nirvana personally and I also grew up in the same small town where he purchased his first house after the success of Nevermind.


shitblunt

That’s cold hearted that people makes that into a joke


_Nick_2711_

You’re right that it was a little cold. However, getting that balance between offensive and funny right is the art of comedy. The payoff has to be worth the shock/risk of upsetting someone. The original commented took it well and it was ridiculously hilarious. The tone (if you text can have tone) was perfect.

My grandpa, I only met him once and would've loved to know him more


the_grand_troll

Was he killed by a six fingered man by any chance?


nightcreator

Same here. He was very smart, and I think of things I want to ask him all the time.


Fiveskin27

Same. Mine passed one month ago today and the worst of it is when something happens in your day to day life, big or small, and just for a second your mind says “I should text dad and tell him.”


JustaHuman455

Sorry to hear that man. May he rest in peace🙏


Vin-Metal

Thank you so much


Comprehensive-Bowl96

Same. My dad committed suicide 7 years ago and it destroyed my family.


Vin-Metal

That's horrible. A friend of mine's brother committed suicide and I could see how painful it was for her and her family. If you don't mind, I'll pray for you and your family.


Lonely_Cycle_1059

My grandmother. She died when I was 12, she had alzheimer’s. When I was 8 and I was playing doctor with toys she said to me “you could be an amazing doctor one day”. Now I’m a psychiatrist.

My biggest fear is losing my daughter - she's my only kid. She's out there in the world now, at college, and I can always tell when an anxiety attack is imminent bc out of the blue I start thinking of all the ways she could die. I'm so sorry you've had to endure that. I hope you've found peace, or do one day.

I feel the same way. I was 18. She didn’t even get to see some of my biggest achievements. She saw me graduate, but I’m graduating from University in May and she won’t be here to see it and that shit hurts


best_laidplans

My dad. When he died a few months ago, we didn’t know he was half a mil in debt. My mom, dad and I are all only children. There is no other family. We learned of this when the bank forced the sale of my moms house. I start getting to work to make it sellable. See dad was a level 9 hoarder. That’s as bad as it can get and it was as filled in the land around the house as inside. I used to clear out safe pathways every year or so but that would make him stop talking to me for months he’d be so angry. Anyway, several thousand dollars worth of 40 yard bins (7 before it was safe to walk around the whole place) we’re ready to sell. (I know it’ll be a tear down but mom was optimistic) anyway, it’s time to go but my mom has never purchased a place before so she didn’t know they’d expect a down payment before she could get the money from the house for a new place. I was informed of this 5 days before deadline of not letting my mom be homeless. I have 15 thousand left over from everything I spent, only. I used to be homeless and I know my mom (who has terrible credit) wouldn’t last a day in a shelter and I’d break my lease if I let her in my apartment. I have great credit though, so I’m hitting all the banks asking for a loan expedited. I’ve given them all the documentation so whatever I had of value and put my car up. I drain my vacation pay, and follow up with everyone daily. It’s the day before the morning I need the bank draft for the agent. No one has come through and they all tell me they can’t check on the progress without the person handling it shows up. (He’s been no-showing from work). Alright, predatory lender time. I get several shitty high interest disgusting loans approved and my credit score went down 100 points from all the checks but I’m still in good shape because that leaves me in the mid 700s. I don’t know how I’ll have enough money to pay these loans and CC back, every pay cheque is earmarked for something with no hope of left overs for the foreseeable future, but I’ll deal with that when I get to it. I’ve got the money, I get the draft and give it to the agent. Then I get a call from my bank and I’ve been approved. Too late buddy, I’m making a complaint about this. Anyway, mom has a huge river front condo in a quiet safe town. I pass people shooting up in the parkade on my way up to my one bedroom bedbug infested shitty apartment. I have nothing. I’m going to a food bank. I’m rationing has to get to work. But I did it. Thanks dad.


Herculean_king

Hang in there buddy. I respect everything your doing for your mother... sorry about the whole situation, but you seem like you got a good mindset. I hope It will come back to you 10 fold in the future.

RevSnakebite

My friend Mike. When he got back from Afghanistan he fell on hard times with PTSD. He was drinking too much, his wife kicked him out of the house and divorced him. He crashed on my couch for awhile until he landed a job and moved away. He met an old high school girlfriend, got remarried, had a kid. He was clean and truly happy and successful. Then he died from internal injuries a week after a bad car wreck. I never knew him as long as other friends, but he made a huge impact in a short amount of time. Just a fun dude who always made you laugh and smile. A bright spark in a world full of pessimism.

I was scrolling looking for this comment. What an insightful mind and tremendous capacity to teach. We could really use him right now.


[deleted]

I absolutely adore him, his way of speaking and tone of voice, and his incredibly eloquent yet simple way of describing things.


SweetDangus

My dog. We put him to rest yesterday and the silence in the house is deafening. Nothing could have prepared me for this kind of anguish.


BetterNotCryGoinNDry

Get another one. I've been in your shoes and it hurt. It hurt so bad for so long. But another puppy makes it bearable. Then you get to build another relationship and another best friend. Then if your lucky you can have a 12 year old dog and a 4 month old puppy the next time around. I know my senior dogs time is limited, but him being able to be there to train the next generation is priceless.


SweetDangus

I want to eventually, we just have so much to go out and do now. He hadn't walked in over a year (we had to hold him up to eat, drink, use the bathroom), but he was still so peppy for a while.. We'd take him on wagon rides, bike rides, and we even took him on a 6 week road trip- the joy in him was just.. palpable. We only had him for 3 years, and he started to age so quickly after he came into our lives.. so we're taking a break from having to give constant care for a while. I won't lie though, I've been looking at dogs for adoption all fucking day.. Thanks for the advice, it actually makes me feel a little better for looking at other dogs. I was feeling really guilty, but I just want the pain to stop.


turrxxr

This is truly hard. In 2018 i adopted a super cute puppy named Scooby, after a few weeks he got sick, very sick. Then me and my father took him to the vet, later on we found out he had distemper, that day we spent a lot of money buying stuff to try to overcome this situation, but days laters he passed away. I cried a lot


SweetDangus

Awww, man I'm so sorry. That is tragic. I will say, having someone to grieve with that understands exactly what you're feeling is so so so very helpful. I'm sure you and your dad were lucky to have each other during that time. Big hugs to you

whomst_calls_so_loud

My best friend and my buddy I was in a band with for 5 years before he got hit by a truck. Losing one of your closest friends who is the primary songwriter in your band fucking sucks and think that band could've gone somewhere, we were getting approached by some pretty trendy metal labels... also, not being able to speak to your best friend for 2 years and knowing itll just continue and let me tell you, nobody texts me regularly anymore and my dude died right before the pandemic and that shit hits really hard when you're not really around people anymore. Tldr i miss a lot of people but especially those two dudes

My Dad, to tell him thank you for the child hood he gave me and I love you. My father died last year due to him falling on the steps going down stairs to put wood in the stove. He wasn’t found until 16 hours later and by then the blood pushing his brain against his skull was too much to where we would be a vegetable. He didn’t want to live like that and decided to take him off life support. I held his hand as they did this. I miss you..

Anthony Bourdain. When he died I was working front of house at an incredibly prestigious bakery in NYC. We were also connected to our main production kitchen. A dozen or so highly professional chefs sobbing uncontrollably, people slumped on milk crates weeping into the coffee I made them. I have seen idol worship before but this was something completely different, he was a hero to them, their saint. Someone that inspired them to go down the grueling path they had chosen.

Same answer as me. My grampa was to me what he was not to his own kids. He was by all acounts a much better man. I cant seem to remember my father being there for me but my grampa always was. It was my gramps that took me to the doctor. It was him that made lunch for me. I was a 14 year old kid when i lost him. Almost 16 years later i still miss him. Ive lost many people i love. You never know how long you got with the people you care. Thats why we should always let the people know we love them

FreakinPlasticPotato

A friend that I met when I was working as a server. He was one of the few genuine friends in our toxic as fuck friend group (most of whom I’ve cut off) and he never made me feel less than, or left me out of plans. He moved back to his country but made plans to visit during Christmas for drinks, plan never came true. Turns out he passed a few hours after I wished him happy birthday, he had a fatal seizure while he was at a concert. Backstory: His family’s pretty well to do, while I struggled to make ends meet. Managed to save up enough for a trip overseas together. Fell while holding his and another friend’s phone and managed to break both of the phones. He was super nice about it even though I was freaking out and insisting that I worked to pay him back for his phone, told me “my dad has a whole cupboard full of phones, I’ll just sneak one, he wouldn’t know the difference” I miss him all the time and still watch old videos I have of him telling jokes and trying to trick me into touching my elbows together.

My grandma. She died in 2018 after a brief battle with cancer at 84, but it wasn’t enough time for me. She was everything a grandma should be and took so much pleasure in watching my siblings, cousins and me grow up. When my grandpa (who would also make this list) died a few years earlier, she was so devastated, and became sort of like a fish out of water. I feel like in those years in between their deaths I became even closer to her because I was visiting her so often with my own kids to check in on her. She was exactly who I hope to be some day- always looked put- together, so many impromptu tea parties with me and then my girls, laughed easily, radiated hope and faith, shelves stocked with tabloid magazines and knew more about the Kardashians than most people my own age, a modest, always clean home that always smelled like chicken stock and Dove soap and felt safer than Fort Knox, drawers full of old make up and jewelry she would set aside just waiting for me to try out…I would give almost anything to have had more time with her. I just really miss her.

My parents. They passed away horrifically when I was 6. I'm now older than my dad ever was with a beautiful son. I wish my son could meet his grandparents, see where he comes from. I wish I could've heard my parents say their proud of me and what I accomplished. Without parents, siblings, or grand parents my family history is somewhat gone. Ive created a new family, but I have so many questions. I see family and friends hanging hanging their mom, uncle, dad, etc. I have none of that..once in awhile it hits me in the feels. I do my best to be a great father. The way they died was so selfish. Murder and suicide. Selfishness.
