Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
My goodness Willie. Don't some lovely people get such a rotten deal? It must have been so difficult for Brandon to do those videos, but his family will treasure his messages to them forever.
A friend of ours who passed away in similar circumstances a few years ago (his son is a day older than Laura) left two 'Treasure Chests' for his children with gifts and sentimental memorabilia in them to be opened 'the morning after' and on upcoming dates such as birthdays and Christmasses to come.
Of course I'll keep all the family in my prayers as they travel this difficult road. And I hope Brandon can be kept as pain free as possible so that he can have as much time with his family as possible.

I kept their 4 year old daughter today with my kids and she sat down and colored a picture for her Dad "because he's sick". This is all she's ever known, he was diagnosed when she was 2 and so her normal has always been that Dad's sick. As she did that, I had a hard time keeping the tears at bay as I thought to myself how her whole world's about to come completely undone.
This is heartbreaking, Willie... absolutely heartbreaking... I've got to hold back the tears just thinking about Brandon and his family, and what they are going through.
There are no words that can comfort this family... this is only the beginning. This is a spiritual family, so only prayer and faith can pull them through. More than anything, I wish them comfort and peace amidst the pain.
And Willie, I wish you the same. You are a wonderful, caring friend. :hug:
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
I'm feeling the weight this morning. Brandon passed away this morning at 5 am. He didn't wake up yesterday and as Tiff sat by his bedside this morning, he woke, she told him I love you, he told her I love you too, closed his eyes and passed peacefully. May Tiff, Eathan & Sophie find strength in all the love and support they have from this small community that was so inspired by Brandon and his bravery thru it all.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
She will treasure that moment forever. So sorry, TBF. Words are inadequate.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
OMG, Willie! I am so sorry for you all. I thought he had been given a little more time than this. My deepest sympathies to Tiffany and the children.
You have been a wonderful friend and support to them and I'm sure they will thank you for ever.
Brandon has had a hard struggle and is finally past his suffering.
Rest in Peace Brandon. You fought a brave battle.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Words can't express how heartbreaking this is. If there is a positive note to be found anywhere, it is that he was able to tape those videos, which his children will treasure for years to come, and that he passed so peacefully with Tiff by his side. I am thinking of all of you and sending lots of love.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Very sad to hear this news. I know what a struggle this has been for the family. I'm so sorry for the loss of Brandon. RIP
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Willie, I am so saddened to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Willie, I'm so sorry to hear this, but he's at peace now. No more pain and struggle and in a better place. I will keep you and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
