SOS reflects on his upcoming death

[fischerwood]

Reckon how long it has been since Fischerwood's daughter stopped speaking to him for forgetting her birthday 60 years ago?

Actually she turns 60 in October this year, how'd you know she doesn't speak to me?

How do you forget what year your first child was born, especially making HER 2 years older?

:resisting the urge to make crude comments:

Just a hunch. I mean, if we’re honest, even your dog looks checked out in that picture.

Listen, I think you’re terrific. But others…

Corch, we all have impending death.

You and SOS are just closer than most.

Hell, Im REALLY surprised I have lived this long.

I’ve always said….If I would have known I would live this long….I would have taken better care of myself.

Lived hard, worked hard, played hard and drank hard. Occasionally all at the same time.

Approaching 66 with 2 brain surgeries this past June but hanging tough in good shape…

I'm about half a year younger than SOS. I just wanted to participate in this thread before I croak. I will not be taking a poll on who you'd like to see go first. The results would be ugly.


For me.

Horrible and disrespectful thread title

Let me ask you this - do you think SOS would read the title and find it horrible and disrespectful? If the answer is no (and there's no doubt in my mind it would be no, he's the last guy on Earth that would have a stick up his ass), then there's no reason for you to.

I have no idea why so many people freak out so much when it comes to discussing death, which is the most natural thing on this planet. As we get older, I think it's important to think about it and openly discuss it, it's healthy. Being terrified and running from it is not. Clutching pearls over thread titles about it also is not.

Steve Spurrier is the epitome of a level-headed and HONEST guy. He doesn't BS people, he's open with his thoughts and feelings. I'm not surprised at all to see him open and reflective about approaching the end of his life and how he wants to finish it.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to go tonight.

That's true to a point. If you were in pain etc or had reached a stage in a serious disease process where there was no hope for recovery then you might welcome, long for, death. We want to avoid pain at all costs. Even a small big wants to avoid death as we see it running with all its might to avoid being stepped on. So we also run if there is impending danger. Heaven is described as a place of continual being without pain but who wants a state of continual being without the struggle of life. It is one of the great dilemmas of life that we long for eternal life but life only has meaning because we know it is going to end. This is beyond what I can comprehend. Because there are things beyond my comprehension is why I believe in God. God help my unbelief.

So, prop me up beside the jukebox if I die…

Well I'd be better off in a pine box
On a slow train back to Georgia
Or in the gray walls of a prison doin' time

Seeing as how I lost my mom last week , this thread is right on time. It was sudden and unexpected which is the way everyone wants to go, but it sure sucks for the family left behind.
