Dear Rec Roomers

[beenz]

my old lady wants the same (Cremation) but she's a cheapskate. lol. But she wants her ashes spread around all the places around the world we've been to. She just wants a celebration of life service. none of that sad shyt, but upbeat party type of shyt. lol

told her that I'll honor it and make sure our sons do if I can't. But for me, I'd save some of her ashes and bury us when I go and do it that way. Start our own little plot somewhere.

what about you? do you want the same thing for yourself? or u want the regular funeral?

Prob traditional, but I'd want our boys to bury me along with her urn. One tombstone for both of us.

We're actually doing our estate planning meeting next week to hammer out our trust and shyt. Got too much shyt going on financially and we don't want our boys fukkin off a bunch of money/assets at once so we're going the trust route to have it more controlled. Wife paternal grandfather literally had to pull the strap out on the KKK trying to start shyt on his property and I'll be damned if that land ends up going to some cacs if either of my sons join pawgset. lol.

All jokes aside, gotta take care of your health and make sure you plan for this kinda shyt no matter how morbid it may sound.

my pops just died about 2 weeks ago and he was adamant about no funeral. we had him creamated, and we're doing a celebration for him at the park district next month. he did not want any type of funeral just due to the cost alone, which is the same way I feel for myself.

I feel the same. Told my fam to cremate me and spread my ashes in nature somewhere.

As the “responsible” money managing person in the house, the idea of spending a bunch of money on a funeral is crazy to me.

Just cremate me and pass my ashes around to anyone who loved me.

I had the exact same convo with my wife and came to the same conclusion.

[Hood Critic]

May your big bro rest easy.

 

[Microfracture]

Rest in Peace to your brother. My dad passed from lung cancer late 2023, I'm just getting around the age where you start losing people.

It's gotten a bit easier and you just have to understand that despite the fact it will stick with you for the rest of your life, you still have family and friends to keep going for and to lean on.

Sorry for your loss breh

RIP to big bro, hold yah head up fam

Thanks bro, I'm trying

My brother felt the same way, but he wasn't in a position in life to dictate nor thought he would go so soon, so he never spoke on this to his ex/kids. We went over it briefly a few times. I was literally going to setup a life insurance for him and then he got ill. His children hope to place him with the rest of the fam (we have 3 there) and I'm not against it. But I understand it's not a guarantee. I'll be at peace in time either way, but I have to try. I wish I tried harder to be there leading up to his last days nah mean. Coulda woulda shoulda, story of my life...

Im sorry.
I read your whole post. Just know you shared his memory with many more people and we all know a little part of him.

Thanks man, you attacked my tear ducts with this post earlier.

I had 3 more ppl to reply to but I can only reply to 3 at a time because of the ad at the bottom, so I'll just say I sincerely appreciate all the kind words/donations/and even reading about how you all have dealt with similar situations. It has helped with the process of processing, cloud computing. Can Ai love? But for real tho, when I have the strength to do normal activities like Bojangle on here, I have leaned on your kind words. To vent I gotta cry, and as the man of my household and a beacon of strength in a lot of situations. Like I feel I have to be strong for anyone who loved him. And so I kinda put myself on the back burner. But "I've had a few outbreaks of emotion and I felt better afterwards. I know I have a few more of those. Right now I don't even want to get over it. I don't want to exist in this reality (I'm not suicidal, I know reality is reality) I'm just not ready to move on. I get it, ready or not, life goes on

I don't know where to begin...

Like a lot of us, we grew up in a one parent household. My brother was just under 7yrs older than me, my mother worked nights.
So my brother was always more of a brother/co-parent. If an older person tried to bully me, he'd come through and handle any issues I ever had as a kid, so he was my protector.Mom dukes working nights meant we was unsupervised at night. And we ALWAYS stayed up to watch the Arsenio Hall show, hopefully Eddie will show up tonight, or Michael Jackson/etc. The doggpound (he loved that show)

His biggest loves in life outside of his family, Was music and wrestling. HipHop specifically, he was a student of HipHop unlike most others. My entire childhood he rocked a boom box. Even had one with a TV built in. That shyt would kill his batteries so he didn't use the TV function very often. I think it took like 12D batteries
He would play it at night as our go to bed music. Everything from all coast. I grew up listening to Run-Dmc, Dana Dane, We went to the movies to watch Disorderlies (not just the cool movies) He loved Tim Dog, Ice Cube, he was once offered a spot to be in a rap group but he was scared to leave home and go on the road. And wrestling, I grew up watching Every Wrestlemania, I seen Hogan slam Andre, we watched NWA/WCW bash at the beach/etc. The wrestling cartoons that come on Saturday mornings and then wrestling itself would come on afterwards. And Saturday night's main event was dope too. I never ordered none of that, he did. I didn't care for it but I watched like anyone would if it was available. Loved Tiny Lister Jr. I could at any time say "Tony, What's that smell???? And he would reply "Dookieeeee" (if you know you know)

And as for a gamer, he was not a SERIOUS gamer. Actually would always be the weak link. But, my earliest memory in life is barely 2yrs old.We had an Atari 2600 with two joysticks and two paddles. Combat, ET, Atari Boxing, Pitfall. And we had battles in boxing. He won every match at first, then I remember developing a strategy and then beating him more than he beat me. I vividly and fondly remember this. We lived in Beacon Hill Apartments at this time (That place recently got raided by ICE and made national news) He did play with a few of you over the years, Mostly COD games. I remember trying to play the Halo 4 campaign online with him and Chewizzle. Otherwise it was mostly Black Ops 6 these says with his closest friends and my son. He used to post in The Booth and the Squared Circle back on sohh, when The Coli became a thing he migrated like the rest of us but never really posted like that.

4 days ago the doctors gave him 4 days to live, he died 2 days ago at 4:54pm, surrounded by loved ones. Exactly the way everyone says and hopes they can go.
But I have to tell you, that way of going is not easy. It's brutal. I had to watch my world take his last breaths as they took him off life support. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. He was battling diabetes and was on dialysis for a few years. He did not take care of himself, ate foods diabetics have no business eating/etc. And so if any of you are reading this and you living that lifestyle? Don't take it lightly. My brother was only 53.

We talked about death a few times over the years, and he always said he would be cremated. Not because he wanted that, but what do you expect when you're on disability and don't have funds like that. But his children want to bury him where a lot of my family is buried and I personally would like that as well. But we're not financially equipped to make that happen so they started a GoFundMe to see if we can come up with the burial fees. We have until Saturday to come up with the funds. We've raised $2500 so far in idk, 12hrs? But we need help if we're going to reach our goal so if any of you have anything to spare? Give, so miracles can live..
