BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

@manbearpig , really sorry to hear about your loss brother!
I will keep you in my prayers for sure. 
Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my nephew 3 years ago when he took his own life at 14 yrs old. Reading this brings back a lot of those painful feelings. The biggest thing was being strong for my sister which I know you will be for yours. I still take phone calls from her late at night just to listen to her whether she is angry, sad or wants to talk about happy times. The pain will never go away and you will never get the answers you want, but with faith and family things will get better. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Brothers thank you all for the kind words and prayers. This post helped me to get some of my emotion out in a place where the people who needed me to be strong couldn't see. I genuinely appreciate each and every one of you and am grateful to be a part of this place. Thank you for the kind messages, private discussions, text messages, etc. having a collective brotherhood "shoulder" to lean on has been a big help for me.

So sorry to hear about your loss of your nephew. We can only hope he is in a better place looking down on you. Dang he was way too young and really had not started living his life to its fullest.

Damn ...so sorry for your loss. Way to soon...
So as some good that has come out of all of this my nephew was an organ donor. According to the agency he was able to help 8 different people all in very bad need of organs/tissues. It is comforting to know that through all of this tragedy in our family that 8 other families got the calls they have been waiting for, for a very very long time. Jordan was a very good soul and I think he would have been pleased to know that he was able to help so many other people. In my mind I picture a mother than can hug her now healthy son or daughter or a father that is now able to live on for his children, etc. This brings me a lot of peace in such a horrible horrible time.
I just wanted to post this here because i have gotten a lot of BOTL love from you all and I consider you all like an extended family.

I'm glad to hear that some good came from this. I'm also an organ donor, and I urge anybody that's not to consider opting to donate.

May the good Lord give his soul peace and everlasting joy. God bless you and your family as you struggle through this terrible moment of darkness and pain.
