I don't like this talk, I'm out for now. Otherwise I would do bad jokes now. See you tomorrow.
I just wanted to apologize again for making you uncomfortable bruh. See you tomorrow and we can keep it strictly Metal Gear.
Im horrible at helping people over the internet but I just want to say to keep your chin up and to stay strong. Your father needs you. Cherish every moment with him and never give up hope.
/hug
You just taking the time to unload some kind words was more help than you could ever imagine.
Thanks man. I put on a good poker face in front of the fam, but when I'm the one who has to be strong and positive, it makes me feel more isolated because I'm the one keeping my feelings to myself for everyone else's sake. I have no problem doing it, but it's tough. I'll try to make my positivity more than just a front for others.
I know what you're feeling, but tell your father IT'S NOT OVER...NOT YET!
You can defeat cancer,don't give up!We all are here BROTHER,you have my support!I wish i can do more ;___;
My dad kind of wants to give up at this point, so I'm frequently telling him just that, sometimes in a goofy Cam Clark voice. We have that kind of relationship. Just another way Metal Gear puts smiles on faces. In my dad's case, he's never played video games. It's really something how Metal Gear has even touched my father in that small way. Just the fact that you voiced your support is more help than I could begin to articulate. Thank you bro.
Fuck, I'm sorry to hear that man
stay strong
I'm doing the best I can dude. Truth is, I've been bracing myself for this moment for some time. In some small way that makes this just a little easier. Thanks for your kind words.
Aw, man. I'm so sorry to hear that. Stay strong, brother.
Thanks LD! I still remember reading your posts while I was a lurker. It's incredible to see you reaching out years later. It means a lot to me.
Consider yourself hugged.. Stay strong brother, you know you can do it. Show strength and your father will be proud of you.
Thanks man. I'm going to do what I can. I don't want to get into it, but I've given my father many reasons to view me as disgrace from my teen years up until just a few years ago. I pretty much live to make the old man proud now. Thanks for you kind words man.
As some other Brothers said, now it's the time to be there for him, and stand next to him along the way. And ofc, fuck no, it ain't over yet. Good lifestyle, good vibes and some luck, along with medical treatment can beat this shit.
As always, fuck cancer.
Thanks bro. I plan on spending as much time with him as possible. I'm still clinging to hope that this is something that he can overcome, and hopefully with my positive attitude, the support of my family, and all the good vibes from GAF, this will all be water under the bridge soon.
Sorry to hear about that. Maybe things will turn around. It could be a false positive on the diagnosis - and if it does end up being accurate, there is also treatment and remission.
Don't worry yourself about it. Try to take your mind off of the diagnosis and remember that even doctors make mistakes.
We are all here for you no matter what Skullface.
It truly means a lot that you took the time to offer up your support. I'm doing what I can to be in a kind of pretend denial, if that makes sense. I'm well aware of the gravity of the situation, but if I pretend like it's not a thing, I'm capable of acting normally. Like I would any other day. It helps me somewhat, and it helps me gather the strength to carry on. A false positive would be incredible. I'll try to focus my energy on that thought. Thank you again.
Fuck, I'm sorry to hear that man. Stay positive and try not to worry because that will only make things worse. What you need to do now is be supportive for your dad and be there for him as much as you can. I hope you guys will get over this terrible bump in life but all you need now is positive attitude, positive mind and a fighting spirit. All the best for your dad.
Ah, Death Metalist. I feel bad because you've seen me act all crazy on the Real Pic OT with my swings of depression. It would be easy for you to point at me and call me an attention whore, but you've always been a real bro. You've always shown me empathy and seem to genuinely care. You're a good guy. Thanks for the positivity.
Stay strong and don't lose hope in this trying time, both for your and your father's sake. I hope things turn out great at the end and all the best to your father.
Thanks Rogue. I'm definitely clinging to hope. There's a small part of me that thinks that this could all be over soon and with a positive outcome. I've been telling my dad to not give up hope, and that he's going to outlive me and all my siblings. That sometimes gets a smirk out of him. Thanks for keeping my and my dad in your thoughts. I can't tell you what that means to me.
Sorry to hear about this Skullface. My dad has been sick too, and all I can advise is that you be there to support your dad through this and be a beacon of positivity. He will need you to be his strength.
I'm sorry your dad's been sick too man. It's tough. The hardest part in my situation is that the few family members that are in the know are either in severe denial, which is extremely frustrating for my dad, or absolute wrecks. It literally seems like I'm the only one that understands the situation, acknowledge the severity, and continue on with a positive attitude. I'll remember your words. Thanks bro, and I hope your father sees a long and healthy future.
I'm very sorry to hear that man.... stay strong brother.
Sn4ake, I believe that one of your posts was the first GAF post I ever read. I stumbled across GAF actively looking for information on the Phantom Pain prior to it's reveal as a Metal Gear title. Like with LD, it's truly incredible to have you reach out to me after I had been following your posts, years before I became a GAF member myself. It means the world to me. Thanks for your kindness.
holy cow... so sorry to hear this man. Hang in there and see what is the final say. get second opinion. If you need someone to talk to PM me.
MGS gaf is here for you man.
Thanks brau, I may need to take you up on that sometime in the very near future. You've always been a cool guy in my eyes, and it really means a lot to me that you're willing to take time to talk to me about this. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
This thread, the feels.
Come everyone.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Stay strong brother and still try to be positive and never give up hope.
We are here for you.
Thanks man. The compassion, it's just left me without words. I hope you know that your words have genuinely injected a much needed dose of nanopositivity machines. The gifs, the sentiment. You're making me tear up over here... But good tears.
i am so sorry to hear that brother.
i really hope it's operable and your father gets better.
Thanks Shy. I can't say this enough, but it truly means everything to me that you took the time to respond. It's incredible to see all these positive posts. GAF is a truly amazing place.
Hey I made this dumb thing for you to cheer you up.
http://videobam.com/ojdxD
I owe you a beer one day for the smiles. Much needed man. Thank you!
Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope for the best for your dad, and remember, there's always hope.
The feels today in this community topic. You guys.
Thanks man. You're right. There is always hope. Sometimes you just need to have people remind you. I just can't say it enough, but it really means so much that you took the time to send some hope and positivity in my direction
Though im relatively new here, you've always been the one ive respected the most, I hope the best for you and your father. You're my Big Boss.
I don't know what to say... Thank you very much. You're a good guy. I always just try and show people the same respect I would want to be treated with. Thank you so much for taking the time to voice some support, it really means the world to me.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I've always found this quote to help out a lot during bad times:
Best wishes to your father.
That's the kind of wisdom I need in my life right now. I may just print that out, frame it, and put it on my wall. Thank you for thinking of my dad, it means so very much to me.
So sorry to hear that. I know how it feels to get that type of news, and how hard it is. Best wishes to you father, and hoping he can CQC that cancer.
Thank you. My hope is that my dad shows this thing who's Big Boss. The MGS reference made me smile. Very kind of you to take the time to respond, it really means a lot to me.
I was able to read over these messages in class as they came in. All of you guys did a lot to pick me up this evening, and you should all feel really good about that. I've never felt as much a part of any community as I do with OuterGAF. You guys are all truly awesome.
