It's over, and he can rest.

You have my sincere condolences for the loss of your brother. It's good that you got things said before he passed. Many times we don't get the chance to do that, or we don't take advantage of the opportunity when we should.

I know the importance of this because I was a hyper active child and I gave my mother a lot of trouble. No meanness or malice just a lot of pent up energy that I didn't know what to do with. But the last time I saw her I told her that I loved her and that I appreciated all her sacrifices and all she tried to do for me and teach me. I told her that I would always keep her in my heart. She smiled up at me and touched my cheek and softly whispered, "I know".

I am awash with relief and peace of mind knowing that I did that. I know that you are sad right now. I'm sad for you and for your family but you will have that peace of mind and with that comes the acceptance we all need when we lose someone.

God bless..........
 
Sorry for your loss Prayers and Condolences. He heard you and knows you love him. I never had the chance to say good by to my big brother when he died at 56 years, many ago.

He is on the path we will all travel and be waiting for you when you arrive for the grand reunion.

Revelation 21:4 ESV
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
 
Sorry for your loss.

I lost a brother at 43yo and another one at 52yo. Both were awesome brothers to have. As a little kid the baby of the family they took me everywhere with them.

I feel your loss may he rest in peace.

Let's hope he doesn't end up near Joan rivers.
 
Prayers for you and your family. Even though we know someone's passing is God's Will, it still hurts.
 
Mike,

Thank you for letting us know. Yes, my condolences are with you and your family in the loss of your little brother.

At the same time, thanks to your graciousness and willingness to share with us what has been happening with your brother for the past few weeks, we know that you brother's life came to an end in a way that was a blessing for all concerned.

I am so moved by what you have shared with us. By your example, we have all learned much about walking with our loved ones when the time is near. The love and brotherly bond you and he had for each other is truly, truly inspiring.

I cannot help but feel a sense of peace and happiness, both for you and personally, that your brother has gone to Glory now, and that God's plan for all of us has been so remarkably illustrated by this intensely personal experience you have so willingly shared with us.

Godspeed to your brother, who has come home. And God's continued blessings to you and your family, Mike.

And thanks, brother. :)
