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. 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.
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.
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.
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 mailed a trivial note yesterday. Didn’t realize the situation had reached this stage. Hope it’s not a burden to be getting mail at this point. My thoughts are very much with you both.
Trust me, my friend. We’re all still following along.
Wishing you continued strength, and him peace. 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. I feel for all of them, and for you especially right now.
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.
So very sorry to learn that faithfool’s dear husband has passed away. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, faithfool, and if there is anything I can do to support you or ease your grief, please let me know.
