Sorry to bring the real world into this wonderful forum that has brought me some respite from the medical issues that my family has gone through these past few years with my son. Yesterday, at 12:30 pm, we lost our sweet James. We are sure that his soul has passed to a more gentle and beautiful place. Through his wish to be an organ donor, his strength and generosity has given the gift of precious time back to three people. His donation will allow these recipients to add another candle to their birthday cake, be there to walk their daughter down the aisle, see their son's first homerun or to simply to feel the sun on their face for one more amazing day. I don't think I'll be back on the board for awhile, but please know that so many of your posts and messages made me smile over the years.

Your friend,

Steve

I'm really sorry about your son Steve. As a father I can't fathom how on earth anything in the world can be worse.

Generous indeed for what he has done for others being a donor. Really sorry Steve try and hang in there the best that you can.

This is so sad to hear. I can't begin to imagine what your family is going through right now, or what your family and especially your son went through the past few years. I pray you are all able to take some solace in the fact that he is in a much better place.

I just can't imagine this. I'm so truly sorry but I am praying the peace that passes understanding to be with you and your family.
May the love and comfort of Jesus be with you and you're now and forever.

I cannot imagine....I pray for peace. I know coming as close as I did almost losing my daughter pales in comparison and thinking I could not survive that, I cannot imagine your pain. I pray for peace and love that this world cannot give you. I pray you to find comfort some way. May you see your son in this world every way in a loving and positive way.

Jason

Steve,

So terribly sorry to hear of your loss. One of life's most tragic moments is when a parent has to bury a child. It is something that should never happen. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

My father is the humble and grateful recipient of an organ donor. These last six years of his life would have not been possible without the kindness and generosity of families like yours. Please know that the tragedy and sadness of your loss is shared by families like mine who can never possibly thank you enough for the gift you have given us. Bless you.

Very sorry for your loss. Hopefully, you can take at least some comfort in knowing that his decision to be an organ donor is helping other people. I have an ACL in my left leg that came from someone else after I tore mine in 2011. Without that, I would never be able to have any kind of normal functionality of my leg.
