I wish I’d have seen this sooner. I just worked an event this past weekend in Lexington, KY for the TV show [SEC Nation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEC_Nation). I got to spend a few minutes talking with the hosts, and I’m sure that Tim Tebow would have written a quick note of encouragement had he known. Jessie Palmer probably would have, too. He seems like a nice guy like that. The show also had a quick pop-in visit from Brent Musburger. If nothing else, I might have been able to get a picture of the three of them together to send his way. I’m sorry to hear about this, **faithfool**. Truly. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > His is now what they call “actively dying.” Apparently everything has begun to pool, so where he’d dramatically lost weight before, he looks all pumped up now. His breathing is terribly ragged and his eyesight is failing. My heart is breaking, but I’m doing my very best (like pushing his PCA every available 20 minutes) to keep him as pain free as possible. He’s spoken some this morning, so there’s a bit of lucidity still there, but mostly, its interspersed with odd requests, like an Alzheimer’s patients. But no matter what, he knows he’s loved. And since the hour is very late, I’m just going to post our address here, so that if anyone else would still like to write, I’d be able to read all y’all’s wonderful words to him maybe before it’s too late. > > Thank you all again. As usual, you guys are amazing. And **Bullitt** that is so incredibly kind. Unfortunately, I think we’ll have to pass and instead, encourage you to share such a great offer with another who might be in a similar situation. God bless you all. Much love from us both. \<3 \<3 \<3 > > Jaceson Browning > 115 PR 5553 > Alba, TX. 75410 Folks, I just did a ZIP +4 search and if you’re going to mail anything you might want to use it, _ **75410-4070** _.

**faithfool** , I just USPS overnighted a package of some of my USMC items, and baseball items from my baseball ‘shrine’ personal collection. I, too, am a baseball fan. Because you live in a small town, the stage coach won’t pull in until Thursday afternoon. No signature required, they’ll drop it off. Can you PM your email address to me? I’ll send a picture and describe what’s in the package. I hope they get to Jaceson in time, and hopefully they’ll bring a smile to his face, including the joke I’ll describe in my email, and to yours too. I continue to hold you both in my prayers. ---

quietly now, with a hug, a whispered note of sympathy and care, we gather at your side to wait with you and to share and to help in what manner we may, as you face one of life’s most difficult moments. words fail here, so quietly now, we’re here for you. ---

All of you are beautiful. The hardest part of this is the line you walk now… have them turn him over to prevent bed sores from making problems that turns into restlessness and pain, which in turn means he can’t calm down again. I hate this. I can’t do anything for him and nothing seems to help. I’d love to hear his voice again, but if I do, he’s suffering. And now he’s heading into encephalopathy and it’s just hell. So for all those still following along, just keep praying and all for us. I can’t begin to say how much it’s easing the pain. ---

I can’t imagine how difficult this is to go through. I’ve seen a handful of friends have to deal with the death of a loved one…to sit there through the end, caring…waiting…helping…everything.

Thank you all so much. Today has been incredibly tough and I know it’s just downhill from here. And planning what’s ahead, logistically, is a nightmare I wish no one had to face. But I know I can get through this. Jaceson will give me the strength. Also, whichever Doper is named Lori and has been on his Caring Bridge, could you please PM me here? If you don’t mind, I really need to ask you something as soon as you can. Thanks. ---

Jaceson has passed away. From his CaringBridge site: > [@](#): > > … as of today. > Our incredible, much loved, missed already Jaceson Lee Browning has gone home to be with the Lord. He was completely at peace and looked like the angel I knew he was. My life will forever be richer for having had him in it, whether that’d had been for another 23 years or as little as just the first time we crossed paths. > So, darling, just know that even while we’re apart now, it’s just the blink of an eye until everyone who adored you is reunited. All of us will carry on to honor you and while my whole heart is breaking, I’m so, so very glad that you’re not in pain any more. And most importantly, that Jesus has now made everything perfect for you. You deserve it, slugger. > Rest in peace, sweetheart. ((hugs)) to you and yours, Kemi. ---
