Cool,
Thank you. My brother passed away last night, after midnight. All Saints Day.

Lydia is beautiful, a blessing.

Oh Bren. *sigh* I am sorry to hear this. In your grieving I hope you are aware that other's are near you in spirit, and may your lonely moments be filled with a sense of peace at your loss.

Your post brought tears to my eyes, it was sad and beautiful. I'm glad you had such a good relationship with your brother, there will be no regrets. A prayer for all of you that God will look down and show mercy on your brother and give you all the strength that you will need.

*hugs*

Thank you. God did show mercy and took Mike home after midnight last night.

I am glad that you and your brother are able to say goodbye with no regrets, and with all resolved. *hugs* Your post brought tears to my eyes.

Before my father became so sick, while he was still able to understand, I made my amends to him and told him that I loved him. We'd always had a difficult relationship. Although he didn't respond in kind, I felt as though I had done what needed to be done.

I believe that completeness and closure is a blessing. Your brother is lucky to have a loving family around him.

Thank you sweetie. My brother passed away last night, after midnight. I am grateful for the love we had for each other, and that there were no regrets. He is now at peace and out of pain.

I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs*

Bren-
So sorry to hear about your brother. While I was reading your post I was envisioning my mother's final days. I had to give her the morphine by dropper under her tongue. In and out of consciousness, etc. It is not an easy thing to witness and I know how you are feeling.
I'm glad you got to be with your brother while he was still lucid. I feel that is a bit of a comfort to know that he knew and knows you are there.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
And how lovely to have a new little one in your life. Congratulations, grandma!

Thank you Dear. It has been a hard time, but I know it will be ok. He passed away last night after midnight, and I know he is in no more pain, and it at peace.

I know my brother loves me, and I love him. We have always told each other that, and have had a wonderful loving, funny relationship. No regrets, nothing left unsaid, nothing to apologize to each other for. That is again a blessing.

You said it all right here. God Bless and keep you all Dear Lady.

Thank you Cathy (and Gil) I went up yesterday, briefly, cause I wanted to hold his hand one last time.
He passed away after midnight last night. I am glad he is at peace.
Hugs
