OT: Sad News
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. You'll see him again!

So sorry for your loss Steve. I have two daughters and two stepsons and cannot fathom losing any of them. A parent should never have to bury their child. Organ donation is a noble cause that more of us should take up. Stop back here often as the folks here are a great source of comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. As I read this, the thought of losing my 10 or 13 year old sons is crushing. I can't imagine. I will pray for peace for you and for fond memories. May God be your strength today and all your days.

Ugh. That is heart-wrenching. As stated, there is no greater tragedy than a parent burying their kid. My thoughts are with you and your family. Considering the circumstances, you have a great outlook....your son's passing has given immeasurable joy to several other families and that should not be taken lightly. For that, he is a hero. God bless.

God Bless you and your family sir in these hard times. I can't imagine the pain. Take the time you need to grieve and remember, and never lose the memories, and the knowing you will all be together again someday. May your love for James overtake the pain you feel in your heart at this time.

My heart grieves for you and your wife, brother. I am so very sorry. I'm a dad too and there is little to say that helps. May God carry you at this most difficult time. Please come back and join us later, when you feel you can do so. In the mean time, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, brother. ---Brian Powell
