33 years is not so young, we can only hope he lived a good life

LEL?

 

[Hoo-doo]

lol

All about perspective. Work at the children's oncology ward and realize that 33 years is a hell of a lot compared to the hand some kids are dealt. Occasionally the human body just fails people in the worst way.

My aim is not to downplay this tragedy, obviously.

That depends on the life he lived though. Some people have it rough early and better as they get older.

Of course its about how we live, but still i only said that we can hope those 33 years were good and it seems they were, thats all. If he was younger than 20 i see it but understand 30 years or older is a full life.

Not to change the subject so sorry, these "lols" are strange

 

[Quonny]

I'm crying.

That dog had absolutely no idea what's going on. She'll likely go the rest of her days waiting for her owner to return.

Until recently, 33 would have been considered middle aged for most people. We shouldn't forget that us living to 80+ as the norm is a relatively new thing in our history.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Incredible sad

 

[mr stroke]

Beautiful

Sad that someone died, but fantastic that there is still love in this world.

This is hitting me hard as I lay in a hospital bed after suffering from a stroke.

I'm in my mid 20s.

With life expectancy rising to 70-80, 33 is absolutely young. Where are you coming from thinking that 33's not young?

Mid 20's? according to some that's nearly a full life.

Spoiler

Hope you get better.

33 is a long time don't get me wrong but c'mon, a full life? Certain aspects of this is certainly about perspective, but average lifespan isn't. 33 isn't even half the average. Most people are just getting started in their careers by their late 20s and early 30s these days. Same for starting families. 33 is not a full life. Working hard for 24+ years to die at 33 would not be a full life.

I know you didn't mean any harm and theres really no harm in what you're saying but I kinda understand the lol responses. You come off as not really knowiing what old age is which I'm sure you do.

Get well soon mate.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Man, I can't help but feel a giant swell of anger and hatred towards everyone who posts and shares these stories.

These feels are not good feels, man. Nothing of value was gained.

An appreciation of the shortness of life. Make the most of it.

 

[Alchemy]

Uuuugh why does sad shit with pets absolutely kill me.

 

[Friggz]

i encourage everyone to also be an organ donor. the best part of this story was the teenager that received a new heart.

 

[rokkerkory]

I am so sad watching this. RIP buddy.

Also, pets are so amazing, they love so much.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Least there was some good out if it since his heart was donated and is expected to be transplanted to a 17 year old that needs it. :/

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

Dogs are too good for humans. They deserve better than us.

You're from the 1600s too? We have much to discuss!

I wouldn't be so sure, there has been research done on dogs in relation to human illness and that they can detect certain illnesses including some cancers, Mollie may not have known about the illness but if the two were that close then Ryan not being around for a while, and how the other family members were acting in the house, then the journey to this place where Ryan was laying and not moving, Mollie may have been able to know something was wrong, and in time when wondering where Ryan is, remember what had happened on that day and the days/weeks leading up to that last meeting, we have no way of knowing, but personally I do think there is enough plausible evidence that Mollie knows (or in time will know) that Ryan didn't leave of his own accord.

I think there's a huge gap between dogs sensing when you're sick and them understanding the concept of death.

That's way too young to have a stroke. What happened, if you don't mind me asking.

A few months ago when I was at the hospital, someone had rode a horse to the hospital entrance to say goodbye to its owner. The owner was wheelchair bound with several tubes attached to her and she broke down in tears and gave the horse a big hug. It wasn't nice to see.
