The journey for these two brothers started so many years ago, things have sometimes been great, some not so great, I was about 3/4 yrs old, Terry Manning was 11 months younger, later thered be another brother and a sister, his name is Steven Kean and her was Judy White, us three brothers were adopted and was raised by different parents hince the different last names, but we always knew growing up that we were brothers, Terry and Me were raised going to same school, living very close , him in Collinsville/Ft Payne, me in Portersville Al..but we were allowed to be brothers, knowing each other as you would your sibling, just in different homes..weve played sports together, got in trouble together, general mischief things brothers do..As weve gotten older our health has declined as it should getting older, his a bit worse than mine, its been my heart and breathing because of my weight has caused alot of my problems, but his to was weight, wearing out his knees and hips,, but weve gotten by with the help of an awesome God in who we put our trust in, depend on to get us through this life and going home when he says Enough, come home My Child..Today was tough for me, as in this picture holding his hand, I had no clue that there would come a time when this would happen again, today I held his hand, but he was gasping for breath, couldnt respond to me, cause of being so weak, his hand shaking like that of an old man with palsey, shaking very much, moving very slow, words were a struggle for him to get past his lips, hes retaining fluids, heart has gone into A-fib, if hes moved it races up, heart rate went to 160bpm when they moved him last night, on brink of ICU..I always felt it would be me lying there, gasping to just breath, but now its him..Nurse says his condition has been changed to critical..I understand we arent guarented another day, I might go before him, when hospital called me this morning saying he wanted me there, he was scared and crying, things going as they have in the past 24 hours, he wanted me to be there, Hes never liked being alone when things got as they are, I dont want him to face this alone either, so Ive been there by his side watching him breathe and get even weaker..will this have been my last time to have held his hand in this life, I cant answer that, but he if I have anything to do with it, wont be alone when that time comes..Please Pray for him to have peace and comfort as he goes through these next days..He wont have to cross Jordan alone..God will be there with him where I have to let go !!!
