My brother is a born again Christian. He was going through an awful time about 15 years ago when God directed him to go into a church for guidance. Not only did God help him turn his life around, He put my brother in the path to meet his wonderful wife. No doubt that my brother and God are on a first name basis, and he has no fear of the after life.

It is the living that suffer from someone’s death. Although, suffer may not be the right word ~ we know they are in a much better place; we just miss the ones that are gone.

And on that note - when people are asked how they are doing and respond ‘I’m alive’ why does the asker always say ‘Beats the alternative’? Does it really? From what I have heard the alternative is a pretty cool place.

My first conscious words to family, via fingerspelling, because, for some reason they had me tied down and entubated... Go figure.... were "Live?"

And my sister said, yes, they think you will. I just snapped my fingers. I was somewhat disappointed that I'd have to do it all over again, someday.

I'm glad your brother knows Christ. He'll be ok, no matter what happens.

Prayers continue for His will in all of your lives.
