First, my heart and prayers

First, my heart and prayers go out to you and your baby brother in this difficult time. As with everything you write, your talent is a beacon in this deeply piercing and heartfelt expression. As exceptional as it is sorrowful. My sympathy and respect.

Thank you kind Patricia. We are still waiting on the medical team as there is also an accompanying stage-3 kidney disease they are looking into.

No words of mine are adequate

No words of mine are adequate to speak of, or to, the poignancy of this poem, and the distress and worry you must feel for your brother.  Rather than commenting on the poem as a poem, I will say, rather, that it gave me a very compelling reason to set my breakfast aside to lift him up in prayer.  I, myself, have had a couple of mini-strokes; so I have some idea how frightening they can be, either to the patient or to the patient's loved ones.

Thank you most kindly

Thank you most kindly Starward. Your opting to fast breakfast is a most significant sacrifice and even more so in your current state of health. I am truly grateful and humbled beyond words. You have offered up a gift beyond compare. May the angels hasten to note this compassion that you have selflessly shown, in their book of reckoning.
