I am numb and not sure how I am functioning. My family is devastated. The hospital called at 3:30 this morning for us to come in. I held Patrick's hand until he took his last breath this morning at 8:45. We were very close and I am going to miss him terribly. He survived two major heart surgeries and this sudden attack of pancreatitis took his life. So unfair.
Thank you for your prayers. Apparently, the Lord had other plans for Patrick.

Audrey, I haven't posted here for a while, I have been here to visit and now this morning I will be thinking of you more, thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your brother. I do remember other posts about him.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Audrey~~words can't express what I feel for you and the loss.

Audrey, I am so very sorry for you and your family's loss. May all of you find peace and comfort. Linda
ReplyDeleteOMG! this is shocking to me to hear I can't imagine how shocking it is for you. I'm so sorry. as I was planting daffodil bulbs this morning I was thinking of you and Patrick, hoping my thoughts would somehow help. Now, whenever I see those daffodil's blooming in the future they will remind me of you and your brother.

ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry, of course, but I'm glad you're the last thing upon earth that he saw and touched. It's a blessed send off.
Take care

i too saw my mother take her last breath as she saw me take my first. it was so wonderful to, as a singer put it, love her "all the way". we taped a video of her ashes being scattered into the ocean with rose petals all around and that was one of the songs we put on the video. my heart is with you, truly.
