I have some more news on Bro. Keith... my friend matt sent me these emails nd i just pasted them on here so you guys could know whats going on.. Iwas to lazy to write them out!! Just memer to keep ts family in your prayers. His name is Matt Borup. you could just pray 4 the Goddard family andthe Borups. Thanks!!
Hey: alyssa, eliza, emma, and olivia. this email is just to let u guys know whatsup. my gpa went into the hospital a few days ago, and after he left the emergency room, he went into the ICU. he been there for about two days. today me and my whole family had a meeting with a doctor, and he gave us this speech about wanting to do what pappaw wanted and not what the family wanted. he said that if pappaw survives this, he will have to live in a hospice facility or a nursing home. and if you know pappaw at all, he WOULD NOT like that at all. so our family decided that we would take out his breathing tube and reduce his seduction IVs and wait until he can breathe on his own............and pretty much we are just waiting now for him to die. nobody is happy about this decision, and mammaw is not taking this well at all, but we all know that this is what pappaw would want. well, i am just asking you guys to pray for me and my family; and i want you all to know that i love you all very much, and thx for being such cool friends. i hope to see you all soon. love, matt
This is the first email matt sent me last night at 11:10 p.m
well, pappaw passed away peacefully this morning at 5:49.
Heres the second one he sent me at 7:25 a.m
so heres the whole story: today we got a call around 4:00 that pappaw was about to die. so me, my dad, and cameron go to the hospital. we get there and his breathing was soooooo slow that i could count "one mississippi, two mississippi, three mississippi, four mississippi" before he took another breath. he was only breathing 16 times per minute. and then his breathing stopped. i watched him take his last breath. then pastor paisley prayed. then we were sittin there lookin at him, and he took another breath. and then a few more.........then they stopped. then the nurses came in and listened to his heartbeat..........until it stopped. and then my uncle mike went over and started rubbing pappaws ankles/feet.......and he said "bye daddy". that was like the saddest moment of my entire life. by now everyone was crying and stuff, just like i am right now. im just glad someone invented email because theres no way i would be able to tell this to anyone in person. lol id be crying so hard no one could understand me. lol man, i miss him soooooooo much already and he only been gone a few hours. so, now mammaw is trying to decide if pappaw will be cremated, like he wanted to be, or just have a regular funeral. mammaw and pappaw were married for 57 years. pappaw was 74. they were married 3 days after pappaw turned 18, and mammaw was still 17 - her parents had to sign for her to be married. lol how funny is that? well, anyways i just wanted you to know what allz goin on. ill see you around.
