    Default Today I Face Reality & Tomorrow I Say Goodbye

    Today is the first time I will see her since I was at her side when she passed. I dont know how I will handle it, or how I will even be able to breath. Today is the day I have to begin to say my good bye's to her, and that will be the hardest thing I will ever do. Tomorrow at 11:30 they will close the casket and her memory from that point on and pictures is all I will have then we will all say good bye at the service.


    I would give my life for just one day with her, I would give every breath in my body and make a deal for my soul for just one last kiss and one last I love you... But it will never happen, her voice I will never hear again.

    You can Only live your life everyday to the fullest because that is probably what she would want for you, remember her and just think....you will see her again before you know it when the man upstairs decides to bring you home!

    No shiit. The man is grieving and if making 20k threads helps him get through it, then so be it.


    Losing your damn wife is different than losing an uncle or a grandfather.

    I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough for me to have to say this, so I'm only going to say it ONE time. The second time will be said with the ban button.

    Brett can make 1 million threads about Leisa....period....end of discussion. If you don't like it, then go entertain yourself in the other million BS threads all over IA. Hell, start your own and entertain yourself.

    If any of you would have known Leisa like we did or had Brett cry on your shoulder while going through all of this like some of us did, you wouldn't EVER question his way of dealing with this tragedy. The man has been an example of what an honest hearted and REAL man does when faced with this kind of situation. 99% of yall could LEARN something from how Brett has handled this, so if he wants to make 2 million more threads about Leisa.....he damn sure can.

    Anybody got any fvcking questions? Let me know.

    Couldn't have said it better myself Jaime. D-Ninja, you are a piece of sh!t and a disgrace to the human race and if God-forbid you lose someone close to you I can't WAIT to see how you fuking deal with it c0cksucker.

    Brett, words can not express how horrible I feel about your loss. Leisa was a wonderful person and she will be dearly missed not just by you, but the entire IA community. I know it's hard, but stay strong, my friend. All of us OGs are just a quick phone call away if you need us.

    Dninja and anyone else bitchin prolly has never lost someone they were fully commited to, either in friendship, or love and the way this situation was dealt with was perfect. so drop it.

    knowing where brett stands TODAY and for the rest of his life, i KNOW what he's feeling, so for anyone to disrespect that is means for whatever backlash comes to be justified.

    That's the reality Brett, I've been trying to grasp it myself but i know it's on a much larger scale with you.

    Just keep thinking of that dream you had man, you know how she would want you to feel.

    The rest is up to time, time heals ALL wounds...Sure you'll have a scar but things will get better.

    Hey brett... someone told me this yesterday and I thought I would share it with you... I know it probably comfort you right now, but it makes sense and one day maybe it will ease the pain... They told me that everyone must pass in order to get to Heaven... That's where Leisa is, she was your angel on Earth, and she is still your guardian angel... Remember, memories are something that can't be taken away from you. You don't have to say Goodbye tomorrow... Goodbyes are forever, and you will see her again one day... Keep your head up man...



    p.s. Ninja, if you don't like all these threads, then just don't open them and read them. plain and simple...

    guys, what needed to be said has been said by jamie and a couple others. lets keep this on track and not focus on all the bs.



    brett, like as been stated and also whats in my sig, we all will see her again one day. i promise you that. we need to be happy for her that she's in heaven doing whatever she damn well pleases while she looks over you. she wants you to be happy and to continue life. the time will come when you will be reunited with her. just keep your head high and be PROUD to have a woman like lisa... err... liesa... damnit... leisa. 3rd time's a charm, right kev?

    True love endures, Brett.. she will visit you in your dreams and you will see her again when it's your time. Just cherish the memories and the special moments. Smile everytime you think of her and you will forever have her in your heart.

    Im ignoring the post dnija made....he's young and doesn't know better but in reality we are each others family and we will be here for anyone no matter who they are....for those who aren't willing to do this simply aren't family.


    I have to say I went today and spent time with Brett and Leisas families both and it truely touched me. For me its hard bc I have some regrets things I wish I could have done differently....like making the time to do Leisas hair one last time bc it hurts me that she doesn't look perfect and that's how she wanted to be. I can't tell you how many hrs I have sat in their kicthen doing her hair while she made Brett dinner and that's what I will miss the most.

    Brett im proud of you today you amazed me. You are a wonderfully strong man and leisa made sure of that. I know you can do this tomorrow. Goodbye isn't forever...you will see her again

    This is an awesome quote. This is for you, Brett.

    You can shed tears that she is gone,
    or you can smile because she has lived.
    You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
    or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
    Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
    or you can be full of the love you shared.
    You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
    or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
    You can remember her only that she is gone,
    or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
    You can cry and close your mind,
    be empty and turn your back.
    Or you can do what she'd want:
    smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

    brett, my apologies for today, i felt like i was droning around like a robot and it was embarrassing, you and others that knew her beyond the forums or far and few meetings helped cement what i already figured she was like. and

    blacksichick, you've said what i've been trying to type for hours, and could'nt say today: "Brett im proud of you today you amazed me. You are a wonderfully strong man and leisa made sure of that. I know you can do this tomorrow."

    ^^^ I know how you feel its taken some time for me to express what exactly I want to say.


    Guys just remember we are family....and we have lost a very important member of this family....tomorrow we need to honor leisa in a way that's never been done before. She is a wonderful woman and deserves the best and that is what we will give her.

    Brett can do whatever he wants. This is a community and a family, sometimes talking about it (or typing) helps with the pain.

    Brett i cant imagine what you are going through, but we are all here for you
