Dear contributors to the Dreams forum. I'm posting this on behalf of Parthena. I'm sure she would want you to know as she has been keeping you all up to date through her husband's long illness. Sadly the end has come & I think you would want to join me in sending her love to support her through this painful time. Early Saturday morning, Joe removed his oxygen and asked that we let him go. His request was very clear and he was in his right mind when he made it.
We will bury him on Tuesday, his 40th birthday. His mom and I bought birthday balloons and took them to the funeral home. I will release them at the graveside.
Thanks again, Lauren, for covering my forum. I'll be back some time after the funeral. Although I knew this day would come from the day I met him, I was not ready. I'm in a lot of pain. I seem to have a stomach and headache that are relentless.
I give thanks that I was with him and that he left us with me stroking his hair and his best friends at his side. This man, who had nothing to give me, gave me more than any millionaire. He is in my heart for all eternity.

Parthena,
With tears in my eyes I read what you wrote. I think of you and offer thoughts to bring you peace.
Although I did not know Joe, I ask permission to use his name when I write this: You and Joe show what a loving relationship should be. Nothing is more important than loving and being loved. That is the greatest of all gifts we can give to each other.

I know that words can not explain how you feel. I know.
I am surely thinking about you and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for posting this, Lauren, I just couldn't bring myself to post it. Thank you all so much for your kind and loving words and thoughts. I need some time before I can return to participating in the forum. Thanks for your understanding.

Don't worry about the forum Parthena. We can all chat amongst ourselves until you feel ready to return to the helm. Just take good care & don't expect too much of yourself in the next few weeks and months. Thinking of you.
