You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people with the selfless way that you share of yourself and your experiences. I hope that you find peace within yourself and not assign guilt to yourself for this terrible tragedy that took place.

Here I am, sitting crying for you, and your friend that got killed. I'm sure those boys don't hate you, it was an accident that you couldn't do anything about, so don't you go beating yourself up about it. We can't changed the past, but we can always look for the good in tomorrow, and in each day that we live.<br />How on earth could I ever be mad at you?

I was forced to reread and digest this before posting a comment. You sir, are a strong man. I don't know about your physical strength, but you have a strength of character that I can only hope for one day. I hope and pray that you will one day realize that you were a casuality the same as the young man that died, and in no way responsible.

I find myself reading your reposting of it and i find the punch even greater than I remember. Knowing the story I was sure it wouldn't affect me as strong as it did the first time but I was wrong. My friend, I wish there was some magical potion or something I could give you to take that one spot of your life away but I can't. I can give you support when you need it and by looking around here, I think you have one heck of a great support team going. <br /><br />MikeInnocent Owner Of Mad Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768102376768991842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029079445335931532.post-34900317122964451862009-10-04T17:40:47.822-07:002009-10-04T17:40:47.822-07:00Amazing story Bob.

I know first hand ...Bob, my heart goes out to you. I know first hand the harshness of the angry sea. I know first hand the guilt of living while one of your 'crew' dies. If I have ever felt empathy for another blogger's story, it is yours. I know the sick feeling in your stomach when you wake from reliving past horrors. But I do not want to forget mine. These things that happen to us, happen for a reason. Whether part of a bigger scheme or simply to shape us into who we need to be, there is a reason you lived through that terror, and a reason that you live on. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for... After experiencing something like that, you continue to live in hurricane prone areas. You face your fears and not many people can claim that feat. Be proud of yourself for the accomplishments that you have made and live the second chance you were given. It is the best way to give honor to the young man's death. While I hope that your nightmares allow for periods of relief, I also believe that they are our souls way of reminding us to never forget; as hard as it can be, and as much as it hurts to remember. I apologize for the LENGTHY comment, but felt you needed to know, you are not alone.Midnight Whispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505831379326900963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029079445335931532.post-58400910886388635072009-10-04T16:08:27.653-07:002009-10-04T16:08:27.653-07:00holy shit bob. i joined plain old bob and you told...holy shit bob. i joined plain old bob and you told me to come over here and i did and wow. that is just, wow. there's a reason you are here and you didn't cause their daddy to die. no one did.
