Re: Can I seriously be serious?
Greetings Nocturnus.
I know you're probably sick of hearing this, but I'm praying for you and your wife and children. If anyone understands what this must be like for you, I think I may have more of an idea of what you've been going through.
I don't share a lot of personal details on the forum because I usually don't have a reason to, but now I feel I must. In July of last year, my younger brother began having seizures, and we had no earthly idea what was causing them. He was examined by cardiologists, neurologists and every sort of specialist you can imagine and nobody had a clue. Well, everything came to a head in October, when my mother found him unconscious in his room. After having him taken to a hospital, he was put on life support because he was unable to breathe. We later found out that somehow he lost oxygen to his brain, which resulted in him becoming braindead. He was examined once again by neurologists and cardiologists, who once again had no idea how it happened. Two days later he was removed from life support, because we were informed that there were two possibilities--either we could remove him from life support, or he could remain on life support in a vegetative state. So despite our hope that he could recover and continue living, we knew this was not the way he would want to live his life, constantly suffering and in pain. Later that day, I simply sat in silence, with my head bowed in prayer and tears in my eyes, as my best friend, a man who meant more to me than life itself, was removed from life support and left this world for the next.
My advice is this. Whether the people you love are healthy and alive, or physically or mentally ill, never let a day go by without telling them that you love them. If you're walking in the valley of the shadow of death, trust in the Lord and he will make a way where there is none.
I know some of you may not be Christians, but it's never too late to pick up a bible and read God's love letter to us all.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
(Romans 3:23-26)
