Thank you for your kind words!
My mom lost her battle with cancer, my daughter was from complications, my wife was a life long type 1 diabetic, after she was diagnosed with 2 autoimmune diseases her health started to go down hill pretty quickly. She ended up going into deep diabetic keto acidosis, which caused her organs to fail. I didn't even get to say goodbye to her. My father was on dialysis and ended up with a severe infection in his port location. while being taken to the hospital he had what is called a widow maker heart attack (maldorf could explain what that is a lot better than I can) and was dead before he even made it to the ER. My eldest sister died after the surgeon punctured her stomach lining with out noticing, she ended up with an infection they couldn't get under control..she was eventually put on a life support machine, but she was brain dead, and her daughters decided with my dad to take her off. This year I lost my grandfather (my dads father), he was on dialysis and also ironically ended up with an infection, he all of the sudden took a massive turn for the worse and was transferred to a hospice. He passed away 4 days later. Now I'm dealing with the same brother I mentioned, being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Life has really kicked my ass, I'm not sure myself how I keep on. Only thing I can of, is how much my mom instilled in me, God's love and to turn to him always.
