He is in his late 20's at the peak of his life.
We have been friends with Garn and Dorothy since we moved to St George a lot of years ago.
How we love them!
We have traveled together, eaten together, laughed together, and walked around the mall together a lot.
As Dorothy said, "It is a sad blessing."
But, you see, the sad blessing is also that this is Deja VU for them.
Nearly 20 years ago, their ONLY son died of AIDS, and they went thru nearly the exact same thing.
Constant 24 hour care towards the end of life, moving the body to prevent bed sores, feeding, changing diapers, wiping drool from the mouth, tears from the eyes, sitting by to watch the labored breathing, holding a hand to comfort and soothe a body ravaged by suffering and illness; a body way too young to die.
Oh, Dear Friends, my heart just aches for you. My heart can't quite comprehend the suffering you have had to endure - TWICE.
But, this I know.
He is alive, running about, laughing with his Uncle Mark.
And, because of the Saviour, YOU WILL BE WITH HIM AGAIN!
