It is hard for me to say this but my son's body cannot fight no more. He went into the hospital over this last weekend and they found problems with his pulmonary veins. They do not know the mechanics behind his problems or why this is happening but we were told he does not have much longer.
He is a fighter and has fought since before he was born. He will hopefully be coming home this week to hospice type care from home to make his time as comfortable as possible. He is my one and only and I lost a piece of my soul today. He will always be in my thoughts for he has forver made a mark on this world.

I love you William, my son.

Oh man, I'm so very sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. :(

Korlis, I have no suitable words to express my sorrow for you and your family. As a father, the impending loss of my own child would tear me apart. Stay strong.

I am sorry Korlis, I am so sorry. There's no good way to express the sadness and empathy I'm feeling for you and your family. The sun will come up tomorrow, along with all the prayers of my family.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Korlis,
I know that no words will ease what you are going through, and I am so sorry to hear that you are going through something like this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and for William.

You and your family and son are in my prayers.

I'm sorry, Korlis. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you and your wife.

If there's anything I can do, seriously, give me a call or let me know.

Korlis,

I have never met you but let me say from my own experiences of this nature. This is the darkest hour you will face but I assure in this darkness will come a light...it always does.

Korlis,

I'm very sad to hear that and please accept my warm thoughts for you and your family in this indescribably difficult time.

I have no words, none shall suffice at this horrible event.

As a Father myself I can only say I know how deeply you feel for your son.

My hopes, my thoughts and my heart felt sorrow for you and yours.

Hey bro, i lost two twin sisters 1 year ago, not that same as your own kid, but if ya need a person to talk to, i live like 30 minutes from ya, drop me a PM

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My daughter has the same birthday(she was born in 2003, though).
I could not imagine what you are going through and I can't find any words.

I do not have words for you.

I have prayers, I have empathy, and I have hope.

You are an awesome person, who for the brief time I knew you, I can tell your sons life, though short, was filled with love. As a father, I offer you my sincere and heartrended condolences.

Words can not express my sorrow for you and your family. As a father, I can not imagine anything more precious to me than my daughters. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God still performs miracles.

Fuck... that has to be the hardest thing in life to endure. I feel for you and your family.

Taken from here (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-11-22-euthanasia-laws_x.htm), which was linked to from here (http://www.euthanasia.com/).

Netherlands: In 2002, the government legalized assisted suicide and euthanasia (the doctor administers a fatal injection of drugs). The law is not limited to adults, nor does an applicant for euthanasia have to be terminally ill. The main basis for a request is hopeless and unbearable suffering, regardless of life expectancy.

All cases are reviewed by medical committees, and instances of suspected wrongdoing are referred to judicial investigators. The Dutch government is reviewing a protocol to allow euthanasia, with parental consent, for infants born with terminal and painful illnesses.

The article is a month old so you might want to look around to see how things have turned/are turning out.

My heart is breaking for you. I hope you and your family find the peace you need to carry you through this difficult time. You and your little man are in my thoughts.

I love you son! May you rest in peace for you are no longer in pain.

William passed away this morning at home at approx 0915.

He's in a place where he no longer feels pain Korlis, if its even a small consolation to you. My family and I are praying for you and your wife in this time where it seems like all there is is pain. Rest in peace William, knowing that you are loved and cared for even though you are no longer with us.

My deepest condolences Korlis. Rest in Peace William.

Very sad news. My deepest condolences to you and your family Korlis. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts.

My condolences to you Korlis and your family.
I pray you and your family will find some peace and comfort during this time.

I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family in this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry, Korlis. Nobody should ever have to live through the death of their child. Nobody. I really hope you have people around you to lean on. I can't, and don't, want to imagine the pain you are going through. My thoughts are with you.

My Dad and Stepmom lost a baby when I was little. I wish I could say they got over it with time, but I can remember, all through growing up, that they really didn't. I didn't understand it then, but now that I'm a father, I do. My little sister Sherry, would have been 36 next year.

Be strong, man.

I know you don't know me Korlis, but you have my sympathy. I suffered the loss of an infant child myself, and know the hole that you now have in your heart. It's unnatural for a parent to die before a child, it rips out your guts, and leaves you feeling hollow. I won't lie to you. It's been 15 years for me, and it still hurts every day. It's a hole you'll carry until you die, but I can tell you that talking about it helps, and that leaning on your spouse will get you through it if you communicate.

Honestly, all the Peace in the world to you and yours. If you have a need and are anywhere near Michigan, I'm a good listener, and can wholly sympathize. It's very often cold comfort, but your son IS beyond the pain he was dealing with. Let that help.

Peace.

Sorry Korlis :( :( :(

i am so sorry, Korlis. there are no words to express how sad i am to hear of your son's passing. Rest in peace, little William.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Korlis. He is in a better place and is happy to know how much you love him.

Very sad to hear this Korlis, my best wishes to your family.

Out of town for a week and a half, and what a terribly sad thing to come back to :/. I'm so sorry for your loss, Korlis, and I know it's small comfort in the face of something so huge, but I hope that the heartfelt sympathy folks have expressed here will ease your burden just a bit in moments when this seems too much to bear. I think that it says something about the nature of our little corner of non-space that you felt that you could come share something so close to yourself and your family here, and I personally am touched that you felt you could do so.

Be glad that he is no longer suffering, and grateful for the light he brought into your lives, as well as the heartache. Neither will ever really go away, but they do become easier to look at after awhile...

My deepest condolences to your family, and be assured that he is in a better place.

Sincerely,

I have no words of wisdom. I can only imagine the pain, sorrow, sense of loss, and wipe away the tears while doing so. I am truely sorry for your loss, and pray for you and your family thought this tough time.

Korlis,
My deepest condolences. I believe that he is in a much better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I can not fatham goingthrough this. May the good Lord wrap his arms around you and your family in your time of need. Just remember you now have a extra special guardian angel to look over you .

Nobody can say anything that will ease the pain of losing a child.

Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you. I have a 13 month old and she brings new meaning and thought to this post for me. I have tears in my eye for you, may strength help you through this most horrible event. :(

I have come here several times and had wanted to post something but it is hard to put my thoughts and feelings down in words. My thoughts are with you and yours.

Happy 1st Birthday William we miss you very much.

Happy Birthday William.

Happy birthday lil dwarf.

Always before, the spring returned,
The bright world in its cycle spun
In air and flowers, grass and fern,
Assured and cradled by the sun.

Always before, you could explain
The turning darkness of the earth,
And how the dark embraced the rain,
And gave the ferns and flowers birth.

Already I forget these things,
And how a vein of gold survives
The mining of a thousand springs,
The seasons of a thousand lives.

Now winter is my memory,
Now autumn, now the summer light --
So every spring from now will be
Another season into night.

Happy 2nd birthday Little One. You are thought about always. Your little sister is growing up soo fast. She is crawling around now and puling herself up to stand on things, we think she will be walking soon. We love you so much and miss you always.

Love,
Kevin(Korlis)

My daughter is 4 months older than your son would have been yesterday. Every time I see something about your son it makes me tear up. Happy Birthday little man.

God bless, good to see his sister doing so well Korlis :)

My sister has just given my parents their first grandchild, and me and my fiance our first niece, and what a wonder it is to see them grow every day. 12 lb's now.. getting a fat little thing too she is. But a beauty nonetheless. Evie-Rose she's called.
