Prayer Request for the Williams Family.

Yesterday, my great uncle Thurston Williams fell face down on concrete. He was flown to the University of Cincinnati hospital. He was having cerebral hemorrhaging. Ray and I rushed my grandparents to Cincinnati so that my papaw could be with his brother. We arrived at 4:15pm and at 5:30pm the took him off the respiratory because he was brain dead. It was very hard for me to walk in to that ICU room to see him laying there with all of those tubes and knowing that he was already brain dead. It made me wonder if his soul was already in heaven or if it was trapped there until the machines stopped breathing for him. As of 11:00pm last night, my uncle Thurston was still hanging on and breathing on his own. Although as much as I would like to hope that he will be okay, the truth is, I know he is not going to be with us much longer. I'm asking that everyone please pray for him and my family as we deal with a loss of a great Uncle, father, brother, and husband. He is a survivor of WWII. and received a 'Purple Heart'. He is 85 years old and a son of God and I know he had a long wonderful life fulled of many great experiences and I'm happy he is my Great Uncle and that I got to know him as I grew up. It had been two years, Callie was a month old, when Ray and I drove up to Northern Ky to visit him and my Aunt. He loved Callie and thought she was just the cutest little thing and loved Ray, they had a lot in common...it's an Army thing. I'm going to miss him but I know he is going HOME....and I know if he could tell us, he would say "Don't worry about me, I'm going to SEE our Father and Savior."



"I love you Uncle Thurston and I will miss you but I know we WILL see each other again one day."
