VERY SAD :(

“I am very sad this morning. My oldest brother passed away about 2 am here this morning, from compications of AIDS and a recent accident. He was 36 years old and had held on for a long time. i can't help but to blame the ambulance drivers who had dropped him two weeks ago while he was on the way to the hospital for something else (it had caused him harm, he was a hemopheliac and was very frail). Right now I am very upset but I think maybe it might have been a blessing too because he has been suffering for years.

that is why I am up so early.”

“sorry ---- my heartfelt condolences, blessing be to you and your family”

“Free23, that is very sad, my heart goes out to you. Your brother is at peace now, and I will pray for your family.”

“Free23, Sorry to hear of your loss.”

“My condolences Free, sorry to hear about your loss.”

“Very sorry to hear about your brother, Free. I had an uncle pass away from AIDS in 1992. I know its paiful.”

“I'm sorry for your loss, Free23. At least you can take some solace in the knowledge that your brother's suffering is over. May you and your family find peace.”

“Thank you guys:(. i am just so upset. It is a good thing I do not have work today becuase I can not stop crying. I am very mad that he had to go- and that he had to suffer. It's not fair that he had to live like that, in a lot of pain. He was a good friend to me, as well as a brother. I will miss him.”

“Free23, My respects to ya. I hear that you can dance in the next place we go. My prayers are wit ya.”

“free, I understand your pain. i also have a brother that has Aids. He has 3 wonderful little girls and a wonderful wife. that I know will someday showup on my doorstep. and thats ok, because that was a promise i made to my brother. I am sooo sorry for your lose. But we both know that he is in a better place right? time will help heal, but for now it is ok to cry whenever you want. its part of the healing process. free, you ever need to talk ill email you my #.

I hope you and your family will find peace in knowing that, Free. Sorry for your loss.”

“Thank you all for your kind words, they do help. I have been trying hard to keep myself busy today and to look after dad, he is taking it VERY hard and it is making him sick. This is my second brother I have lost, it never gets easier.”

“Aww man. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear this. I lost my only brother when I was very young, but I know that the pain of losing a loved one is different for everyone. Free, if there's anything I can do, please let me know.

“Phae theres a good chance I have to change my weekend plans now, I will let you know when I find out more. It's likely that the memorial service will be this weekend.”

“I mean this next weekend.”

“Of course. Whatever you need, just let us know. If you still want to go, but need more time - someone will pick you up later - that's fine. If you need to cancel, that's fine too.

There are things more important than hiking, that's for sure. But I'll make sure that if you want to get away for a while and get your mind off things, you'll get the chance.”

“My condolences to you and yours.”

“My deepest sympathy to you and your family. My sister died at age 35 and it is a numbing experience. I have already lifted up a prayer for you.”

“I am sorry for your loss Free!

“Very sorry to hear about your loss.”

“I used to Rock Climb with a dude that had gotten AIDS cause he was a Hemopheliac. Dude got a bad batch of blood once. This cat was fretty frail too. That AIDS crap will deffinatly knock some pounds off of ya. I slowed him down but didn't stop him. I haven't talked to him in a while but last time I heard, he was still doing OK.
I've seem my friend bfore when he was in pretty bad shape from the disease so I know your brother is better off now.
My sympathies go to you and your Family.”

“Cherish your memories.. I too lost my sister at a young age. You have my total sympathy..”

“So sorry for your loss, Free. My heart and prayers go out to you.”

“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!”

“my deepest sympathies”

“Dear Free -
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss especially since it involved and ambulance driver. As you know, I'm an EMT myself and we all take great care and pride in our compassion and empathy for other human beings. Since we barely make over minimum wage, we're certainly not in it for the money, but for the chance to help others in need.

I'm so sorry it happened, but please don't judge us all on the accidents of a few.

My prayers are with you and your family -

Tex”

“May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace.”

“i'm so sorry to hear that, Free23. you have my deepest sympathies. my brother died of a heroin overdose last year at age 19, and sometimes it seems like it just happened yesterday. he was my best friend, too. as for not having to work today, your work should give you free leave for a week, with pay and everything. mine did. i don't know if that's a law, or what.”

“So sorry for your loss, Free23.”

“I wish Lyra! But Non-union jobs sux. If I asked for a week off they would likely just fire me. Anyway i managed to finially get some sleep last night.

Tex, I was mad they dropped my brother but i know that to make mistakes is only human. I don't blame them compleatly.

Davexx That is a beautiful poem, thamk you for that.

Thak you everyone, it helps knowing there is support out here :)”

“sorry”
