I'm sorry I haven't been around much this week....but it's been a really crappy one.
Monday evening my dear, dear friends, Lyn and Bill (whom I've mentioned here often) got word their 48 year old son in San Jose passed away. He was very close to his parents and they spoke multiple times a week on the phone, skype or texting. He had been going through a difficult time in his marriage and had moved out of the house from his wife and two children.
His wife became concerned when he would not answer calls from the children (which was highly irregular, for he was always available for them) so she went to his apartment and ended up calling the police to do a welfare check. That is when he was found.
It took two days for the coronor to determine he had died of heart failure.
So, Lyn and Bill must gather the strength to go on. Four years ago their daughter, Karen, passed away at the age of 39. Karen had multiple disabilities, was mentally retarded and had uncontrolled seizures her entire life. But she was the happiest person you could have met, lived in a group home with her friends, went to workshop every day and was just a joy to be around.
But now, Lyn and Bill have to depend upon each other, their friends and their faith in God to get to the next day. If you could say a small prayer, I would appreciate it. They need the grace of God to bless them with the strength to get through this awful event. No parent, as we all agree, should ever outlive their child, let alone have to lose both children they raised.
