I lost a brother too young to a brain tumor! And as a family, we realized not to sweat the small stuff! And that there are too many things are just trivial! I think you made the right decision. My prayer for you is: that this may have driven a wedge between you and your wife, because you were ready to let him go and your wife was not, according to this little video! God Bless You!
The choice was not one you could avoid. When the lord calls ya home, you go. As a father you couldn’t see your son suffer. There isn’t any forgiveness needed, you did the right and only thing that was necessary. If you didn’t hurt and have a heart something would be terribly wrong. You did the right thing, you know that in your heart of hearts, and the lord knows it too. Stand tall with your head up, knowing you did the right thing with the best possible outcome, our lord in heaven will see to the rest. God bless.
@ keep him in your heart, say hello every day, Remember everything, forget nothing. Memories are the most important things we have, memories define us and they make us who we are. Always remember your boy and the man he became. Be proud you had a part in his life, I’m sure he loves his parents very much.
Don't blame this on the LORD! This man made that decision NOT the LORD. My word somebody fighting to stay alive and you don't do everything you can as a parent to help. These damn doctors LIE! GOD is the Author of Life and GOD is the only one who has the right to take a life. Had that of been my son NO ONE would have done what you did. It should haunt you all the remaining days of your earthly life. I cannot believe your wife stood there and let you decide to let your son die and you don't seem to be upset one iota. I would have ended your life.... that's not a parent! GOD decides when a " heart" cannot take anymore not you. Don't think GOD is not going to deal with you over this He most certainly will. How pathetic!
I'm here because your CCKW video came up. I looked at your channel, interested in finding out what other videos you have made NEVER expecting to discover Your painful and tragic story. I've never had children so I won't pretend to know what you are going through. If I may say in my most humble opinion. "Children don't deserve to be put through adult medical trials and tribulations. They are what is best in Humanity and should only know Peace, Love, Play, Family and Friends". I am praying for Peace and Happiness to befall You and Your Wife Sir, God Bless You...
@@lifeafterourloss You are welcome. I believe ONLY THE STRONGEST PEOPLE are subjected to times like these. I see the strength on Your face and hear it in Your resolve. Know this, when you are at what you think is your weakest, you are still 1000 X's stronger than your average person out there.
We made this same decision for our son. Forty years on, I can say to you that since there is no harder decision that a parent can make, everything that seems difficult now is put in perspective. The worst thing that can ever befall you has already occurred. There is some relief in that fact.
I'm so sorry we both had to make the same decision. Sometimes I think the change in perspective is a curse. But as you say, sometimes it is a blessing. God bless.
You did the right thing dear. You didn't let him suffer. I only hope someone loves me enough to let me go if I'm ever in that situation. God is with you , may you find peace.
Hey Brother, you are not alone and you, your wife and your son will never die in my memory! Even though we’ve never met , know this, I will be thinking of your story as I restore my 1973 Bronco…you are a real father, your son is so proud that he had a warrior dad , that had the courage to make an impossible decision at an impossible time, all men should aspire to be like you ! You son is proud …guaranteed …I am! Much love to you and your wife. You have my deepest condolences….🙏
I really appreciate the kind words! Frankly, what you wrote is one of the kindest things I have ever read. I'm not sure why but I felt compelled to share his tragic story. In hindsight it has at the very least given others a new perspective on life and the value of children. My son and I had some of out best memories around old Ford Broncos. You have definitely picked a good year for a restoration candidate. Hopefully your project will bring you as much peace and joy as my projects do for me. It is the way I move forward now. Thanks again and I will definitely remember that I am not alone with such kind words. 🙏
Aron. Very sorry to hear your story. You did the the right and only decision you could. I’ve had to do it twice now with parents. I’m sure it’s much harder with a child. No parent should have to bury their child. Keep the faith
I can relate. But I'm very sorry that you had to do that. Nobody should ever have that decision before them. I was just 17 when I had to decide about my father. And 48 years later it still hurts me. I dearly love my dad and we were very close. I too have had to change things in my own life to survive and carry on. God has held me close and His love has kept me going. I watched dad die from cancer treatments for over a year, which was horrible, but nothing like the lifetime of pain over whether to let him pass. My prayers are with you and your family.
This is the third video I’ve watched of yours, and I keep commenting. You express yourself and your thoughts so poignantly. You no doubt made the right decision and I hope you do believe that in your heart. I know it’ll never leave you but you did what was best for your son. That’s what a good parent does, even in the hardest moments. Ok I’ll stop being the weirdo that posts on every single video now. You and your wife take care.❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. 😊 One goal was to document my grief to help others. It turned out that I helped others by helping myself. For some reason it was easy to talk to a camera. Another goal was to build a channel. My son always wanted to have a youtube channel and I never took him serious. I feel like it is the least I can do. Thank you for having such compassin for bereaved parents,❤️ 🕊️
There comes a time we must let them go. Sometimes they are just worn out and cant stay,regardless of age. To have no regrets is seldom the case and hindsight gives us that knowledge. Personally I rest in the knowledge I did the best I could do. Doing that wasnt easy but it left me glad I had.
I know what you are going thru, In my lifetime I have had to make the decision to DNR for two deceased wives and involved with the decision for my mother. I hope not to go thru that again, but it runs in the family. My daughter had the misfortune to lose a few weeks old pre-mature child. Life can be very cruel.
I admire your courage in sharing this sad time of your life sometimes we have to make difficult decisions that leaves us with a forever memory your decision was made out of love an mercy for your son an as time goes on we question ourselves about it but at the time although so difficult it was the only decision that could be made you are not alone i had to make a likewise decision about my mom she suffered with congenial heart failure an as she laid in icu for a week as my brother an i watched her heart get weaker an weaker an the shocks an pounding on the chest coming over an over i had to say stop it was just prolonging her agony she briefly open her eyes an then faded away but she then had a look of calmness an peace that was at 9 30 am on Christmas Eve morning 1992 now every Christmas Eve we recall that sad time an talk say what if then reality sets in an we both knew she wasnt going to make it we both agree that she was holding on for that special day on Christmas Eve to go be with Jesus i would like to think on that morning she received the best Christmas gift of all even though your in CO an im in Texas i hope you find comfort knowing your not alone an dont let the difficult decision consume you something you said sticks in my mind Remember the life not the loss i find comfort in that everyday now when i think bout my wife who passed away in 2010 thanks for sharing your story an your not alone but sometimes it feels that way

May his memory be from generation to generation! So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for you're loss and ongoing trauma 😢 be strong my friend ❤️
AS a Father the thought of having to make that decision makes my heart break. God Bless you!

My Condolences on your loss, it certainly sounds like you made the the only choice you could given the circumstances.

May we all be so lucky to have loved ones that care more about what we need rather than what they want. You did the right thing man

Thanks for sharing. That sounds trite but I get it, having lost a son.
I'm so sorry that we share the same journey. God bless.
