Mods can merge/delete this, but this is my true story and I woke up today wanting to tell it.

I'm 29 years old. I have a lovely wife, a nice business, and a kid coming hopefully.

I had an uncle who I looked up to a lot. He was a track star. Very fast guy. He helped raise me when my parents didn't know they would get twins. He died from lung cancer at 31. He started getting memory loss, he was blind at 27. I used to go to the hospital in highschool to go feed him everyday and stroll him around outside in his wheelchair. First question he always asked me? "How is your mom (His sister). How is your brother?" Never about himself.

I lost my niece when she was 2 years old. Slept on her stomach and suffocated herself.

I lost a good cousin to suicide over the dumbest thing.

I lost my aunt to cancer.

I lost my grandma last year due to complications in hip surgery never got to say goodbye.

I lost my father to complications with diabetes at 49 when I was 19. Unexpected.

The point of my thread is that I went through all of that and I survived. It made me stronger. I am so motivated today.

It's easy to say, but don't ever get de-motivated. There is always a will and a way.

Keep your head up and always look at the positives in your life.
