Sorry I have not been around alot of late.

Ever since my return from my trip home, my life has kind of been on the busy side.

I dont know if any of you knew, but my BIL has had brain cancer for nearly 9 years. Chemo was no longer working for him, and it has been a waiting game, as to when the man upstairs was going to take David home.

Early March, David's health started to deteriorate. He was hospitalised a two weeks ago with pneumonia, a result of his constant fight with the Big C. David fought courageously but unfortunately it was not enough. He passed away last Friday evening in his sleep. It was his time.

Hubby and I went to see him on Thursday, and even though David could not really communicate anymore, I asked him to smile for me, and he did. Brian told his brother he loved him , David replied by squeezing his hand and we left.

That is the last memory we have of David. He was 36 years old. Way too young. My hubbys heart is breaking, and I dont know how to help him.

Thank you for reading, I just needed to vent, I am so sad and helpless right now,...

((((((((((((((((((Jodee))))))))))))))))),

I am so sorry for your loss. Only time can really help heal the pain right now. 36 is way too young but cancer never was a respecter of persons. Your BIL did phenomenally well to survive 9 years. Hopefully your husband will be able to move on to where he remembers the good times he and his brother shared more than what he has lost.

Edited by Kathryn41

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
