Keeping You informed

Bruce is still with us. He is comfortable and on very little to no meds. He doesn't even need the comfort meds that allot use to endure this type of journey. He sleeps comfortably the pass 3 days. A nice hand squeeze is most of our communication now. Pray with me as we prepare our hearts in saying our goodbyes. Anyone that knew my Bruce has shared a laugh and has enriched their life by knowing him. He truly has gone through it all and yet kept a gentle heart. We thank you all for your support and prayers and if I could ask one more thing from you all is to help me adjust to living without my Honey.

My knowledge excepts Gods decision without question, but my emotion wants to never let go of Honey's hand. Our hearts have truly become one and now mine is breaking in half. Let us remember that we are because God decided, and we live to fulfill His plan and purpose not ours. We have been blessed to know Bruce and to have shared in his life while he fulfilled his purpose with God and His plans for Bruce. We truly our blessed people for had having our time with Bruce.

So, Thank you God for our time with Bruce and it was a great blessing to watch his life unfold from a child to a full adult as he developed his knowledge of You. Although it is very painful to say good bye to the lifestyle we knew with him in it, we rest in the comfort that we shall meet again. Thank you dear Heavenly Father for never wavering on your word. You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, therefore, we know we will share our eternity together. It helps to let our loved one go knowing our good bye is only temporary. We love you Bruce and together we lift you in shielded prayer as we prepare our hearts for this transition of your life to eternal living.

Thank you for your support,
ShellyRose

Dear Shelly ... Al and I will always remember Bruce and his deep love for you ... as we enjoyed the summer at Lost Dutchman when he arranged all the activities. We had never met you, but I felt I knew you well, as Bruce talked about how much he missed you every day!!! You have both been in our prayers through this terrible ordeal ... and I know your faith will help you! God Be With You, Shelly, as He is with Bruce!! Denny Young

Hi Shelly Rose...my name is Deborah and I am a friend of your brothers...I think LOL My Mom went on this journey a couple of months ago, and it is far from easy, but it is also beautiful, peaceful and a beginning. i pray that God would wrap you up in His arms in His strength as He walks with you through this, and I pray that your Honey would find his peace and be able to see our Lord face to face in His perfect timing. My heart hurts for you, and please know that many people will be praying for you and your family. I am sending you a cyber hug, be strong sis
