4/27/2008 Jordy has passedI haven't written in a while, for various reasons. The last time I wrote I shared with you all the plight for Jordy's life. A young boy from our school who was diagnosed with cancer late last year, his condition was improving, as were his spirits. Jordy had opted against further chemotherapy because it was taking more of his life than it was saving. When school started this year he told his mom all he wanted to do was go back to school, be a kid, live a little more. He didn't get that chance.
Two weeks ago we got the call that Jordy was gone. Ronnie and I went to the hospital and stayed and prayed with the family until they were ready to shut off his ventilator. Watching the family face what they have known was coming was more difficult than I can describe. Knowing that Jordy had no more earthly pain to face was more relieving than I thought it would be.
I had wanted to talk to Jordy before he died but once he re-entered the hospital his parents wouldn't tell anyone where he was. I think they just wanted their time with him, and that I can understand. I wanted, and still want, to know what state he was in spiritually. I was never able to find out. I have to believe that it doesn't matter so much if I know, as much as I want to. All that matters is what his state was, but to know that I'll have to wait a little longer.
