well today was busy as shit but it turned out aweful. my bro PUTZ (jason) a long time friend and my assistant, at the shop, he cleans tubes and sweeps and stuff for free tattoo work. his father also a friend passed away today, at 6:45 p.m. just one of those sad things, and i know i can't say shit to make him feel better. but i've been through it, and he'll make it through. but today sucked.
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends.
thanks taz.
No Junk ...that was TATZ!...not me! But it doesn't matter cause I would have said the same thing...I am so sorry bro!...Wish there was something I could say or do cause I would do it...hope ya know that...I will say a prayer for BOTH you AND Jason....be safe my friend...TAz
damn his name is so close to yours. i know you'd help if you could. but i can't do anything no one can. it's just what really sucks about being grown up. i'm just there when he needs someone to talk to.jason (putz) is a hell of a guy though. he'd give me a kidney if i'd ask for it. made me feel really bad for him, cus he tries so hard.
Had a friend go through this before. Lost his dad, an uncle(who did his actual raising) and a friend all within a week between Christmas and New Years. Myself, and all his friends pitched in to help him with what he had saved and he got a full backpiece from a long time friend that works in the town where his uncle's funeral was held New Years day. His birthday is Dec. 27th same day the friend ODed. But on the positive side of things. He got a really nice back piece he's damn proud of and kicked all his habits (he had several bad ones and took up tat collecting). It was an eye opener for him, but it's too bad it had to happen that way. You just need to support him and be there for him it's all you can do. When you lose a family nothing anyone can do or say will ever make the pain go away, but you can help him find a way to move on. Good Luck my prayers are with you.
Sorry to hear about your freinds Dad.It sucks,no way around it.Just lost my Mom(58)without warning on St.Patricks Day,I could'nt believe it.All I can tell you is to try and remember the good times and try to live like they would want you to live.I'm sure there's family that can use your strength.
