Providence Game / Winter Storm Grayson

[XU_Lou]

Any chance that Saturday's game is postponed due to the blizzard? Does anyone know when the team is supposed to fly out?

Based on the news I just watched, there is NFW they should attempt that trip.

As long as they're not leaving until tomorrow afternoon, I don't see why they wouldn't go.

The whole thing is ridiculous. We had a 30" of snow storm here in the northeast in March and this "mega" storm is being reported at 18" and will be clearing out over the next few hours except maybe for our friends in Maine. If they leave tomorrow it will be fine.

I’m making the drive from NY to Providence. So I hope so.

In all seriousness it was bad but there’s been way worse. Shouldn’t be an issue at all.

My sister tried to fly out of Providence to come see us in Nashville but the airport was closed a good part of the day. I heard it was later re-opened, but now she's pushed back to wait list for tomorrow at 5:00am. She’s trying to get in for my son’s funeral, so I know she’s trying hard. Yeah, this sucks.... this really, really sucks. This is the most sucky thing I’ve ever been anywhere near.

Sorry if this is semi-off topic or even incoherent. I’ve had about 5 hours sleep in the last 3 days. Did I mention this sucks?

Sorry for your loss, prayers for you and your family.

Geez 82. Sorry to hear that. Hang in there man, I'm sure I speak for the board when I say we're sending our love and support.

Sorry to jump in and hijack, but I’m devastated and completely exhausted. You’d think you could sleep if you’re so tired, but it’s not that simple. We drove through the first night when the hospital wouldn’t give us any info over the phone. We arrived about 4:00 am at Vanderbilt hospital. When they asked us to wait for the social worker, we knew he didn’t make it. I prayed to see a doctor!

I’ve been open about this in the past. He had been dealing with addiction issues for a decade as a result of acute anxiety and depression. Thanks to a lot of hard work and a couple amazing therapists he found himself for a beautiful 3 year period of sobriety. He showed what he could be as an adult. I got to know my first born child as an amazing, universally loved and successful person. We paid a fortune to help him as much as we could. Seeing him for those great years was worth every penny, ten times over. He was a better father than I could ever dream to be. He was making 6 figures helping others find their way into therapy. He got letters from people that said “you saved my life”. Priceless!

Sadly, he had some bad experiences early in life, and the anxiety and depression returned. It was just too much for him as he tried to balance making everyone else happy, only to neglect his own needs. This may sound cryptic to some, but ring true to others.

My message? Don’t judge so much. You have no idea what other people have been through.

My Dau -in-law went to Cardinal Mooney in Sarasota and now lives in the Vinings with 3 kids 4-2 and 3 mos. I thinks she's 29, maybe an old classmate. Wow.

I’m positive he knew her. He was the kid who knew everyone. My younger son Alex is 25 and he probably knew the family as well, if not the D-I-L. Small school with good parents. (But lousy administration.) We were there for the community. My son had a big personality, so we’re starting to hear about events to happen down there.

And, as I think you know, we are around the Vinings. Alex has been in touch with some CM folks lately. When this God awful nightmare is over, maybe we should look into that.

Fair notice, he may get mixed reviews from his senior year. Loved by many, WTF? From a few is possible. That’s about where it started to turn. Rough decade, but we are happy to have paid a fortune to see him for a few good years. Money? How can you better spend it than on your kids? I don’t need a new BMW. We feel better knowing we did all we could.

My heart goes out to you 82. I think there is huge value in continuing to share your story too. The mysteries of the brain and the resulting actions that lead to addiction, suicide and dementia are very real, and still very taboo to discuss. Your treatment success, even if for a short time, is an important part of that narrative.

Thank you for sharing your pain and your victories. Sorry doesn't begin to describe how I feel for your loss. God bless you and your whole family.

82, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Safe home, Michael.
