Please HOLD ON sweet man...I know your in the fight of your life right now. I know none of this makes sense to you or me. But, you have to put your faith in GOD...its all you got my friend. We don't know why the good ones go home so early sometimes. But, they do and your friends brother was a good man who left behind a wonderful legacy of family/kids/friends. LOVE my friend, thats what he leaves behind. Isnt that how we all want to be remembered? Isnt that we are fighting for?
I know you feel some guilt about his brother being with you. But, dont do that to yourself...it sounds like the two men came from good stock as we say in the south. His brother wouldve have done the same for you too.
Your friend NEEDS you now. HOLD him up and show him the LOVE & SUPPORT he needs. Feel blessed that you know/knew these two good guys. GOD puts folks in our lives when we need them the most. That I know....here I am talking to you right? I would never have been here before...but here I am...
I know it feels like the world is beating you down. But, keep your eye on what matters most in this life. Outside your/my crap. Promise you will try...your buddy needs you. Sweet friend GOD didnt cause the heart attack...your friend couldnt have stopped it. He passed in his sleep....YOU couldnt have done anything either.
Its okay if you get mad at GOD sometimes...he can take it.
Just try and stay reserved when your W comes in a bit. You don't have time for her stuff today. Focus on your buddy and then get over there as soon as its okay and be with him. Be his ROCK. He needs you now...I know you want to go to the funeral. So, does your buddy...offer to take care of his house or something while he is gone. Stock there refrig. with some goodies while there gone,pick up the mail, feed the dog and/or anything to help them out..
Im praying for you today and for your friends....Im so sorry for your loss...
