Two days ago my son came out of his room where he had been on Facebook. He informed me that one of my brother's 21 year old twins had died. This is my baby brother. I scrambled to find his wife's number on my phone..not there. Thank God I was prompted to charge my old phone the day before for no apparent reason. The number was there. I called and she was so thankful. She had been calling my old number..she did not want ME to see it on social media. Craziness, I tell you. Who thinks about someone else at a time like that..my sister in law, that's who!  My brother had said, Lauri, call Lauri, she knows what this is like. 
Please pray for the autopsy results to be accidental death. Suicide is a whole different dimension to childloss. 
I am grateful, so very grateful, that God in His infinite wisdom, saw fit to make me go first on this journey. I wish it had stopped at my door, but it was not to be. Please pray for my brother and his family.

I just prayed again, for them and you! Since I just read this twice, I realize you are the same person on FB. (I hope and pray it was an accidental death, as well.)
Sending love and more prayers,

Thank you so much for your support. Unfortunately, it was not an accident. I have given her the info for this site and I am praying that she takes advantage of the support that you SOTH brought to me. You saved me from myself. When all others in my \"real life\" walked away only weeks after Patrick\'s death..you were here giving me hope that one day, I would feel the sun on my face again. Last week, I felt it. Just in time to be able to offer hope and mean it! God\'s timing astounds me almost as much as His mercy and grace.
