Last post.

by Chuck Stanley

I am advising Professor Turley that I am out of here. There have been profound changes in my life this past week, and I no longer wish to play.

I will not be reading, nor responding, to any comments. If any are addressed to me, you will be talking to yourself. If this does not make sense to you, you can find my writings on Daily Kos (as Otteray Scribe) and Flowers for Socrates.

Have a nice day.

  1. There are no words for such a loss. Brandi sounds like she was a beautiful soul, full of joie de vivre, and made the world a better place. My deepest sympathies for Chuck and his family. They will be in my thoughts and prayers. I believe he will see her and his wife again one day.

    It strikes home because our niece, also named Brandi, died from brain tumors, also in her twenties. Her struggle was quite a bit longer, but nothing prepares anyone for the grief of losing a child.

  3. Losing a child is one of the worst things that can possibly happen to a parent. I hope that Mr. Stanley and his family will be able to weather this blow.

    As a new reader and commentator on this blog I am not aware of the “back story” nor am I actually interested in it either. Too junior high school for me.

    However, Mr. Stanley’s posts have always, since I have been reading, been interesting and a good start for conversation. Perhaps some day later we will hear from him again.

  4. Professor Turley … thank you for your rare comment on your own blog. It was appropriate and I think necessary. Your feelings reflect that of all of us I suspect….thank you again.

  5. Chuck Stanley … I cannot fathom how the loss of a daughter would impact me. I have only one child and she’s my one good thing I have contributed to this earth. I wish you nothing but the best in the future, wherever it takes you. Your comments were always valuable and I am very sorry you’ve reached this point, but I think I understand it. Were it me, I’m not sure I could continue at all. Take care.

  6. Since learning of your child’s illness a few weeks ago, I have included her and you in my prayers. I believe she is @ peace. My prayers will continue for you.

  8. Chuck,
    My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your daughter. I have not words for this sorrow. May peace find you in your family’s loving embrace in this difficult time.

    I am sorry to see you go. I especially enjoyed your posts on aviation.

  9. My greatest sympathies to you for your loss. Your pain must be nearly unbearable to lose your young daughter so suddenly. I pray your grieving will be short lived and the hole in your heart will be filled with a greater love for those still living. Memento Vivere.

  10. I was very sorry to hear of Chuck’s decision this morning and wrote him to first and foremost express our deepest condolences on his loss. It is a devastating blow for any parent and he will be in our of our minds and prayers. I also thanked him for his long association with RIL and his many wonderful postings and comments. I am so very grateful to him for his support of RIL in the past years. Many people had their perspective broadened by Chuck over the years and he will remain in our thoughts during this terrible period after the loss of his daughter.

  11. Don’t leave the blog now. Things will get better. Take a vacation from all blogging. Adopt a pet. Not necessarily a dog. Cats, hamsters, parrots, ducks, are all creatures which can give guidance. If you already have a dog then sit down and seek some advice.

  12. If you have a change of heart, you would be welcome back. Losing a child is a devastating blow. There is no wrong way to grieve. You must find a way to survive for her. That should be “one hell of a wake”. Wish I could attend.

  14. Aw right, so wuts the fkn backstory here now?
    Did JT piss someone else off?

    Is this like, what happened in January with Mike Spindell and friends?

    Wussup!?

  15. 2 Corinthians 13:11

    ‘Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.’
