FUNERAL FOR A BEST FRIEND AND A BROTHER . My desperate need and plea is on behalf of my brother. his last dying wish was to be buried next to my mom his best friend. I have a good Christian family that is now passed from this earth. We lost our dad he had a stroke, and could only say, 'what to do' his worry. and concern was mostly for mom but I'm sure he was concerned for him too. While in the hospital they found cancer and finally he had a heart attack. God allowed us to be together but under no uncertain terms he was going home. My sister was with us by phone, she was torn from the outside world due to chemical sensitivity. The benzines and benzipheenes in scented products attack the nervous system more people are affected than they realize. She was the canary in the coal mine. The first to show a sign when the conditions weren't safe and the coal miners would retreat. At this point she had developed cancer her 6th year at the end of her stage. My mother was a great mother who took care of them to their end. We lost dad 6 months later and we lost my sister Brenda. My mother was left to deal with the estate. Between the attorney and the realtor things didn't go well but my mom didn't fight it. She did good, she was a good mom , dad was a good dad and my sister was an earthly angel. Mom was stuck with a stroke on the opposite side of the brain as my dad's was. My dad's loss of speech. Mom was paralyzed on her left side. My brother and I took care of her for 3 years living in motels and finally a rental. We lost everything carnal and half our family, but we still had mom to cherish. It wasn't easy but it was a labor of Love. I wish I had my brother and mother back, I'd do it all over again. Thank you God for allowing us all to be there for each other. But I failed my brother, it was just me, I tried to see him every third day, mostly at night. some times every other night, on occasion every fourth night due to car trouble ,"such is life". Always something but eventually God will get us through. I tried to come bearing gifts things I knew he liked when I could. Sometimes I'd wait a day so I wouldn't come empty handed. Joe lost dad, his sister, his wife and his home, in that order and the biggest bomb of them all his best friend our mom. We got to be there in all their passing, but I failed them all I wasn't there in his passing. That night but if I only knew, I'd lose him before the break of dawn. The really slap in the face, the nursing home called me ten minutes after his passing. But in talking to the nurse I got the picture There were three of them there observing his passing why didn't someone think to call me, there is a phone by his bed. Were they explaining the steps and signs of someone shutting down. The social worker there is coming off seeming like a real monster and now the administrator is bitten with the same bug and has sent me a text saying; "I have no choice but to call the police because you have abandoned your brother." Like I don't have enough guilt already. I told them it would be tomorrow and the social worker agreed. They didn't call, they texted that last night and they lied to the facility they sent him to. Please help my brother doesn't deserve this, maybe I do he doesn't! Please help! Dear Almighty God this is my plea... in my Lord Jesus name. Amen! I'm blessed but not without heartache and hardship...
