I need to rest...
 
Yes, I really gonna leave for a while. I don't know how long it will take until I'll be back again.

Yesterday, it happened pretty much. It's a long, tragic story which you wouldn't believe.

...but I tell it anyway:

I wanted to ask my dad about my grandfather (my father's father) which I never really met before because he died when I was three years old.
The only thing I knew was that he has suicided...

So yesterday my father told me the whole story:

After my grandfather's wife died by cancer, he married another woman which he thought, was very nice and lovely. But really, she only married him because of the money. So my grandfather got depressed and nobody could notice it in time because he rarely showed his feelings.
Well, after almost five years, there was one day when he went out to "take a walk".
Then after one day, he still didn't come back, so the family posted as missing. The police, family and friends went out to find him, but after on more day, they didn't find him.
Suddenly, there was a report (I try to translate it):

Mysterious Death at Stanserhorn (that's a mountain)
Hunters found a half corpse

A macabre find while a hunt: At the south side of the Stanserhorn, a hound rooted out a decayed lower part of a man's body, monday, in the afternoon.
The scared hunters broke off their hunt and told the police about their find. The next, immediate looking for the missing upper part of the body with the aid of the hounds was unsuccessful.
The authorities were completely mystified. It's not clear if it was an accient, a crime or a suicide. In those parts, nobody is missed too. The only sure thing is: The half corpse, which wore pants and hiking boots, had to lie in that forest for months.

One day after, there was the final report:

Suicide with explosives
The mystery about the unhalved corpse is unraveled: It's was suicide- A 61 years old man blew himself up!
Only while the second looking for the missing upper body, the experts of the
scientifical analysis service found an indication of an unusual suicide. Seven meters away from the habitat, they spoted a small part of the upper body in the trees. Now it was clear: It was an explosives-suicide.
The father, weary of life, from Solothurn was missed since September the 18th (1992) and blew himself up in the pathless place. The identification was well because of the military shoes which showed his personal number.
The sort of the explosives are still unkown.


That's true, my father still keep those two reports!

You know, my whole world was chancing while I listened to my father.

I never really had a good relationship to my father. He often did beat me and laid into me. He never consoled me or something else.
But now I think, I understand why.
It had to be quite hard to identify somebody's feet as your father's feet...

So I don't have a problem with you, guys! You're nice but I need to find myself now. That's why I'm leaving.

I guess nobody will be missing me. :)

I will miss you in this forum...

That story sounds quite hard to me so I can understand that you need a little break. :)

I hope you'll come back soon!

Of course we will miss you, what are you thinking? :)

It must have been hard to find out about that story. Take your time to think it through, but don't seal yourself away from the people around you (that is, your family and friends; we're just some random people from all over the world :D).

Jordan 11-28-2006 12:54 PM

I'm gonna miss you, SM, and your love of SW! I'm sorry about your grandfather, I hope you enjoy your break! ;)

Spirrow 11-28-2006 02:36 PM

I'm going to miss you bigtime. I'm sorry about your stress in learning
this type of tragedy. I feel for you and I hope you will return to this forums soon, again. I sound hard, the life you have. Just take some time off.

Creepy Doc 11-30-2006 09:20 AM

Yes, don't seal yourself away because of that. I know, that must be really hard and you really need much time to handle this but you never let yourself down. Live your life and be strong, Stranger's Maid!

Spirrow 11-30-2006 09:38 AM

Yeah, take some time to figure out your problems and sort yourself
out, Judith. Hope to see you return.

Bullet Magnet 11-30-2006 09:42 AM

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that, Stranger's Maid. We'll miss you.

skillya_glowi 11-30-2006 08:48 PM

Wow. My deepest symphathies, Strangers Maid...I dunno what I'd do if I found out that someone found half my grandfather in a forest...probably puke or something...And I totally understand about the leave. Bye and see you...someday...

And yes, we'll all miss you.

Spirrow 12-01-2006 08:13 AM

Uh, I think she's coming back, seeing as she PMed me yesterday.
Hope so.

-Spirrow;)

Hobo 12-01-2006 10:05 AM

Bye bye bye bye (For 10 chars)

Spirrow 12-01-2006 12:33 PM

I'll rephrase that. "I think she's already seeing as she PMed me yesterday.
Hope so."

-Spirrow;)
