Sadness and healing

A friend of mine lost one of her sons yesterday. It has been a hard fight. He ended up in the Hospital about a month ago with lower abdominal pain. The doctors found a that he had bleeding in his intestines and thought that he might have colitis plus they had to insert a tube in his neck but I am unsure what it was for. He ended up getting a ecoli infection in that tube by his neck and it was not responding to treatment so the Doctors decided to fly him to Calgary to the Peter Lougheed Hospital were he would be under the care of several specialist with the hopes that they could get him better. For about 3 weeks it was all looking positive and then his body stopped responding to the drugs. Saturday afternoon the Doctors had exhausted all their knowledge and it was now a waiting game. Yesterday afternoon the Lord called him home and he left this earthly plane. I sit here writing this and cry. As a parent we should not have to watch our children suffer and die. My HEART hurts for my friends so much. I wish I could be there to give them hugs and to cry with them. I am so grate full that my children are all healthy and strong. Having found out that he has passed away makes me want to go and grab each of my children and just hug them close and not let go. I cant imagine what they are going through. I am so grateful for my beliefs and that I know without a dought that they will be together again for all time and eternity after this life. That is a huge comfort to know that should anything happen they will be a family again in our Heavenly Father's home. Their son is now free of pain and hurt, he is in the healing embrace of our Lord and I am sure he will be an angel watching over his loving mom.
