I wanted to introduce myself. My name is rodney w. I am 41 yrs old, and a proud father of 3 children in southeastern ky. I come to everyone with something that is kinda bothering me. See, I recently went on my facebook account and found my childhoods mom. I was excited to have found her, and when I enquired of her son that I was friends with she sadly told me he passed away at the young age of 28 yrs old, 8 months after being diagnosed with limphnoma cancer. I became sad, as I knew up until then he was a very healthy kid, who lived a christian life. Last week I spoke with another friend of mines sister. She informed me that her brother has had 3 heart surgeries since I moved away in 1988 and he just had his 4th. He had an artificial heart transplant. She said everything seemed ok. Then 3 days later she said he took a turn for the worse. His kidney's were starting to fail and was put on resperator. 2 more days went by and she said his kidneys are failing completely,his liver is shutting down,and he is getting dialysis along with ventilator. Wenesday she said it is a sad day today, my big brother passed away.-He was 40 yrs. old. In 2009, I lost my mother after a routine kidney stint surgery. Too much loss too soon! what my concern is, I am 41 yrs old. In my lifetime I have survived, 1 bicycle/car collision at age 9, then thruout my life-5 car wrecks, 6 motorcycle wrecks, over 200 seizures,3 heart attacks, 1 heart surgery,and countless amounts of dead braincells derrived from the wrecks I suffered. My friends lived good christian lives and died so young. I am living a christian life as well-am I next? why have I endured so much and survived?--any opinions?
