Anons, would you please prayer and send blessings for my oldest brother who is dying very soon. He’s gone through a very fast growing rare disease since January. He made it through a rabid lung cancer years ago, which no one thought could be done. I live out of state and came to CT on early Thursday am. I was told that he was unable to speak the day before and he would not speak again. The doctors told him the cancer has sped up and will not live more than two weeks, and that was two weeks ago.
He is a very good man. He he didn’t like Trump but he slowly got to have some respect for him, and he would not shut me down like the others when I told him about Trump or about military events etc. He was all Navy. I asked him on July 4th, “when you were in the Navy did it matter to the enlisted who was President”.He said no, he was President and CiC and the military services all honored and would obey any orders giving by the CiC.He himself was shocked about the senior military trashing Trump all the time.
All of my siblings are leftists and hate Trump and really don’t like me (because even as a child I didn’t agree with the rest, on most things.)
When I got there he was not expected to wake up and talk again. And they really didn’t like me when I got in the room and started praying out loud and reading the Bible. I didn’t care it was for my brother and his soul, so fuck em.
I’ve always been the odd man out and my eldest brother was the one who treated me with respect, which was rare.
We connected deeply after the last 4-5 years. I turned him on to Shawn Ryan and many other warriors, as he was in the navy. I got a text from him a to weeks ago saying , “I’m listening to Ryan regularly now”.
He liked the Bannon show somewhat with Steve O’Donnel war historian and his books and understanding of all wars. O’Donnel was interviewed many times, and my brother was very interested.
We both had more connection through American patriotism, historians of war and the value of an exemplary military; he was interested in all the events and parades held by Trump leading like July 4th.
The rest of the family were as awful as usual.
So the only big break, I got in my life were my parents and my big brother and we had a real soul connection. As we are tending and holding vigil by my brother’s bedside they avoid me like the plaque, for some reason can’t seem to be appropriate when the time requires it (and what they say to me.)
It’s always been like this so I feel lonely and sad they cannot truly put the weapons down, for stephen my brother. I know he would not like that.
When I got there the nurses and doctors said he would not wake or talk again on Thursday, and he didnt wake up or speak. I got a big blessing on Friday, I was sitting and holding his hand and we would all shout Stephen, he quite deaf without his hearing aids, so I shouted, “I’m here Stephen, I love you, and he woke up briefly for 2 minutes and he said loudly “Oh you are here! He was so pleased to see me and I was so happy to hear him speak one more time. And as I was ushered out by the nurses I went to kiss him and he pulled me in with a big kiss just like my parents would do.
I’m glad and grateful God gave me one friend out of 8 other siblings. He is the 1st child, the oldest and I was the 7th so our connection got stronger as we aged. He’s always been a fighter, but he knew it was his time.
