To our Kind Visitors
We have been so grateful for the many wonderful friends who have visited Brendan since this ordeal began. As his remaining time on earth dwindles, so many of you have come and shared your love with him and our family. This has been a tremendous blessing for us and for Brendan. Currently, Brendan's pain is increasing rapidly, his breathing is labored, and it is becoming more and more difficult for him to visit with people. At the same time, he wants to make sure everyone gets his attention and a response. After a particularly difficult night last night, we feel that we must now give him some quiet time with his family to preserve his remaining strength. If he rallies, we may be able to accommodate more visits. It pains us to ask this of our dear friends. We would continue to welcome messages to Brendan. We can read these to Brendan as his strength allows. We love you all and are eternally grateful for your kindness and understanding.

ReplyDeleteTell Charlie there is the sweetest girl, that looks a lot like me, waiting to show him the ropes and be his friend. She, like our Heavenly Father, understands every pain and emotion he does. Lots of love.

ReplyDeleteI hope Brendan knows how much his story, his life, his example, his courage and his faith have meant to so many of us. He has been a great missionary teaching us by the power of his goodness. He has drawn love out of so many hearts. He has turned many to prayer and helped all of us who have known him, to walk with greater faith and face our own struggles with more courage. When I grow up I want to be like you Brendan. We love you❤️
ReplyDeleteBrendan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your courageous battle. You're a young man who is wise beyond your years.
You have been blessed to be born to parents who love the Lord and their family.
Prayers for you and your precious family.
