Well, the family got the bad news today.

The doctor says Lee is brain dead.

Now it is just a matter of time.

I suppose the family will have to make the decision to disconnect the machines soon.

This is such a sad thing.

My heart is broken.

My poor brother is devastated.

I am so, so sorry.

May the Father embrace Lee as he passes from our world and enters the glory of Heaven. May you and all of your family find peace in knowing that he will not suffer any longer and will reside in warmth, peace and love forever.

God bless you all

If I should be the first to go
mourn not the grave I lie,
although my chair is empty
my spirit did not die.

Death is not a foe to fear
When mortal time is through.
The tears I shed are sadness
at thoughts of leaving you.

I'll miss your cherished love,
The looks, the touches that said
when one of us was hurt-
the others always bled.

Memories are the blessing
that endure beyond the dust,
we accept the will of God
and do the things we must.

If I should be the first to go
I'll mark the path with care
so when you follow in my steps-
you'll find me waiting there.

I keep seeing him in my head, that funny little grin he always had--with the dimples creasing his cheeks, and his eyes so bright blue.

It's just hard to believe I'll never see or hear him again in this life.

Can I share Stephen's poem with my cousin's family, Tracy? I think they'd be comforted by it.

It is so beautiful.

Of course you can.

I know how hard this must be for you. It is never easy to go thru a loved one's passing. Stephen's was very hard for me, but I knew, when it was over, that he was in a much better place and that his pain was ended. And that is what comforted all of us. He had gone Home, and how happy he must be to finally be in the arms of the Father.

I felt the same way when Isaiah passed and my baby girl, Silezia. They are all angels now.

HUGGLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Cho to you and all of your family during this time.
