Goodbye, Everybody

Goodbye, Everybodyis the story of a thirteen-year-old boy who, during an open-heart surgery, suffered a massive brain injury because a blood clot or an air bubble passed through the heart-lung machine, which shut off the oxygen to his brain.Before this tragedy occurred, Kevins future was very bright. He was a young man with many attributes. These included being a caring and loving individual, an excellent student, and a talented athlete.It was not time for Kevin to die as God had other plans for him. With His assistance and guidance through years of adversity, he has become a wonderful person, a loving husband and parent, and one of our Fathers workers.In this story of a precious life saved, I have tried to describe the mountains Kevin had to climb to get out of the crevices in the deepest canyons in which he had been thrown.I would hope that other families who find themselves in this situation and with their own rocky mountain to scale would turn to God to help them with patience and fortitude.
