| David my Bro, Left this earth on November the 7th to live in Heaven. As I write this almost 2 weeks later, I still can't believe he is gone. We had 42 years of time together here on earth. And some day I will be with him again. That will be such a happy day. My Brother was so sick. He had suffered so in his last years here. This makes it a little easier to let him go. I know that he has a prefect body now. his legs are strong as he walks on the streets of gold. They would barely hold him up while he was here. The Pain of watching him just try to walk was almost more than a person could bare. He never gave up. His Dr's said they had never seen anybody fight so hard to live. but, his worn out fraile body finally took all it could. He had been going to dialysis for over 5 years for 3 times a week. He would say ever time scared him just as much as the first . Bless his heart it was there that he had his final Heart Attack. He went into full Cardio-Pulmonary Arrest. They worked for 15 minutes with him before they got a heartbeat again. Which means he went with no oxygen to his brain for that lenght of time. So, we knew there would be brain damage. It wasn't long before he started having severe seizures. Seemed with every breath he took came a very hard seizure. They had put him on the ventilator to help him breath but his heart was beating on it own. His condition continued to worsen. And the decision had to be made just how hard the Dr's and nurse's were to try and keep him alive. His temperture was 105 degrees. And they felt he had developed a severe infection somewhere. I think it was due to the brain damage. My heart, as well as the rest of my family was breaking for him. We didn't want to let him go but we knew he would not want to live in the state the Dr's had said he would be in should he survived. The decision was made to slowly reduced the amount of medication that was being given. At first we thought it was going to be very fast. His Blood Pressure began to drop immediately and then it stablized. The Dr's told us it could last for days. So, at 1:00 am. I left to bring my Mother home. Daddy and my Aunt was with him and then when my husband got off work he went to see him. David and Darrell had been friends for many years. Long before there was a me and Darrell. At 4:35 am David went to be with our Lord. We all wondered was David maybe aware of somethings and was waiting for Darrell? If he was or wasn't he was surrounded by people the loved him dearly. And I take great comfort in knowing that. And the all the pain and suffering he had while here is gone for him forever. He will know no more pain, sadness, or heartache anymore. For all of that Know Our Lord also know that there is only Great happiness and Joy in Heaven. The Days ahead will be very hard as the Holidays near. But, I will try and remember the life he had and the life he has now. Rest in Peace My Brother you will forever live in my heart. Your sister. |
