My Sweet Brother Tim

[Lorie]

As I sit and write this, My heart is breaking.....

I haven't been here in a while. Some of you may know that Tim passed away on Feb. 5th. After is long battle with ALS. He died in my arms just the way he wanted to. He was very Comfortable and Peaceful. Due to personal and family issues, I was able to spend Tim's last four months with him, most day's and night's. He had more courage than anyone I know. I had always told him: "He had more inner Strength than anyone I knew walking around on two feet". I am so honored to have had him as my brother. He taught me so much, He never gave up Hope, even until the end. Hours before he passed, he still communicated with me by raising his eyebrows when I talked to him or if I was asking him a question. I miss him so much! But I know he is in a better place now. He will live on in my Heart, I told him he will always be with me. I love you, Tim.

The Broken Chain
I little knew that morning. God was going to call your name,
In life I loved you dearly, in death I do the same.
It broke my heart to loose you, you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories your love is still my guide,
and though we cannot see you, you're always at my side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Lorie, I'm so very sorry about Tim. I know he fought long and hard. You did the best any sister could, to help him along the way.

I've really missed you here and hope you are doing the best you can.

Lorie, I am so sorry for your loss. I can literally feel your heart break... I know that pain too well. It is so wonderful that you were there for your dear Tim until the moment he took his last breath. That is a beautiful gift that you gave him. He was so lucky to have you by his side throughout his entire journey. I too was with my dad until he took his last breath. It is such an intense experience to witness a loved one pass on right before your eyes.

Please accept my deepest sympathy and thank you for sharing that beautiful poem. It obviously speaks to me on a very deep level. I send you my support and my warmest thoughts.

Hoping you are doing well,
Rosella

Hi Lorie, so happy to see you back on the forum. I have been absent from the forum myself due to the same reason. I agree with the others, Tim was so lucky to have you for a sister! You and I we have been in touch since his passing, so there isn't much to say other than he is in a much better place where there is no suffering, no Als only peace. May God bless you!
