'15 TN DT/OL Zach Stewart (UT Signee 2/4/15)

[BigZiti09]

I read in one of the threads on this site that he was not expected to enroll. Have no clue if that was legit, and can't even remember where I read that.

I heard Hubbs alude to that last Thursday on 990.

 

[VFLBerg]

Doesn't sound good.

Butch said way back in the summer or early fall that the plan was for Stewart to enroll in Jan. I haven't heard anything since then. I'm assuming that is still the plan until someone reliable says differently.

 

[IAM410EC]

I'm pretty sure - in listening to the Brent Hubbs show/podcast, that he said now the plan was for Stewart to come in one of the summer semesters 2016, and not enroll in January 2016. Family still struggling and needing prayers - especially this time of year (per Hubbs).

That sucks it's tough. At some point you have to move on but I'm not sure around the holidays is best time to do so. Summer makes sense

It took me about 4 years to get over the death of my father. He passed when I was 17. I tried to go to school and flunked out my first year because the depression. Ended up going back, but it takes a while to get past it (not saying you don't know that, just giving my first hand experience at a similar age).

5 years old here... sorry to both of you, a man without a father can get lost sometimes

 

[Volz4lif3]

Bingo my half brother was 5 and really missed out on my father and get to know what type of man he was.. Thank you for the prayers... Same to you also i know it had to be hard as it was on my brother. God bless

 

[BaldBiker]

I was 26 when I lost my father. My brother and I had just returned home from the Gulf War (1991). Never a good time to lose a parent, but boy I sure needed to talk to Dad then.

Lost my 1st wife a month before our 23rd Anniversary. She was 42.

I don't think you ever fully get over it. Good luck to Zach. Can't wait to see him play if/when he decides it's time.

Lost my dad a week after 9/11 and my mother 3 years minus a day later.. I was in my early 40's but it was still a rough road for a while..

 

[Catbone]

Damn. Hate to hear it. That's rough... I was chronically depressed from about 11-15, if I didn't have my parents to help me through it I know for a fact I wouldn't be here today.

My dad died a week after my 6th birthday, definitely agree that it is important to have both parents. I was blessed with a great mother though. I felt bad for my mom having to work so hard that is for sure.

I'm 37 years old. My dad passed away 10 days ago. We buried him a week ago today. I am a minister and I performed his funeral/burial. The world just feels stranger than normal. He battled cancer since last Christmas. He went through the chemo, radiation and surgery and was cancer free and it seemed he was recovering. Then pneumonia set it and his lungs couldn't handle it. Ten days in and it is still hard to believe.

Very sorry for your loss.

God bless you.......you being a man of faith you know God works in mysterious ways. Your father was called home and is in a better place. Take comfort in your family and friends and know that you are not alone because God is with you brother.

Lost my dad 11 years ago when I was 35. Even as a grown man you just feel somewhat lost without your dad around. And it truly is one day at a time after that. One day at a time is all you can do for a while. Since then I've had two dreams about my dad and they were so vivid and lucid that I woke up and knew it wasn't just a normal dream, if you know what I mean. It was a totally different experience.

Oh man! So sorry. I still have both my parents but my mom is slipping away with Alzheimer's. We lose a little of her each day. Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time. Prayers to all those that have lost a parent sooner than they should have.

 

[walkenvol]

I was chronically depressed from about 11-15, .

Based on your VN persona, is it safe to say you're currently 13?

Just kidding - sorry for your loss.

 

[drvenner]

Continued prayers for this young man and his family.

Thanks for the perspective guys. I'm truly blessed and very lucky. Sorry for all you guys losses.

Since we are discussing terrible and sad things in here:

An acquaintance of mine from undergrad and his wife started yesterday morning, discovering their 2 year old son had died in the night somehow. They found him unresponsive and tried to administer CPR , and the medics tried to revive him when they arrived as well. All were unsuccessful. They don't even know what caused it.

I can't imagine the terrifyingly deep anguish. Cried yesterday and teared up even typing this now. Just awful.
