Title: Prayers for Steven
Post by: Peddlin on September 15, 2008, 11:19:49 AM
Some of you will remember a young man at Rendevous (TNRF) last spring. Steven was there, at the pub, with the M'Cracks, and he had a wonderful time. He drank beer, threw up in the trashcan three times, fell out of his wheelchair (with his legs tied to the foot rests), and (one of the highlights of his life) was when he got wenched. Well, now Steven is not doing very well. He is currently in the hospital (again), with his young wife (my niece) at his bedside. He needs two organ transplants, that are not going to happen. They asked his wife to sign a DNR last week, but then when Steven rallied, it was recended. We don't know what happens next, but it is not looking good. They are much too young to be going through all of this, not that anyone is old enough. I just know how happy you all made Steven that weekend in Tennessee, and he knew how much you all cared about him, even though you didn't know him. I would like to say thank you, and ask you to care about him, again. Please think of him, and mention him in your prayers. It will mean the world to those of us who love him.

I'm so sorry to hear of this.  As you know I couldn't make TNRF as I was busy with VARF so didn't get to meet your nephew.  I'm sorry that this has happened and will certainly add him to my prayers and thoughts.

My gosh, Peddlin', it sounds like Seven has had more than his share of ill health. I'm sorry for that. I'll certainly send a prayer for him and his family.

Post by: Peddlin on December 09, 2008, 02:13:37 PM
Just thought I would let those of you who might be interested know the latest about Steven. At 27 years old, he is now in a nursing home, and the doctors have given him three to six months to live. Please continue to send him your thoughts and prayers. The afternoon he spent with our Ren Family in Tennessee will always be one of the highlights of his life, and it is comforting to know that he has such a wonderful memory to help sustain him.

Thank you again.

Peddlin

Although we didn't get a chance to meet him in TN, we spoke with lots of others who did meet him, and everyone who had met him said what a great guy he is.  We will pray for him and his family.

Peddlin, I will send young Steven all healing energy, and prayers for comfort and solace to you, his family and friends. I am so glad he was able to experience this wonderful outpouring of kindness and good fellowship from so many fairmily, and wonder if he has an album of photos from the day to hang so he may see them? Perhaps it would serve to remind him of the many people whom he met that day who are praying for him, as well as those of us who send him love from afar...

*HUGE HUG* Peddlin! I'm so sorry to hear about Steven's health. He is in my thoughts and prayers! Have Lairde give you a hug for me and I'll give you one when I see you again! Please keep us posted as to how Steven is doing.

*Another Hug* Because there can never be too many!

FairyFly, My Dear Lady -

On that issue, we definitely agree. You can never have too many hugs, and we are so glad that you are back with us, again. Your hugs were too few and far between, for much too long.

And I am very busy collecting hugs for Steven. Their healing properties are amazing!

Update on Steven:

When we were in Alabama a week and a half ago to bury my father, we did go by the nursing home to visit with Steven. He seems somewhat weak, but his mind is still sharp. He is on oxygen and has to be fed, but I told him again of all of your well wishes, and we even discussed the possiblity of taking him out of the home for a day and bringing him to TNRF. Don't know if that is feasible, but his wife plans to discuss it with his doctors. Who knows? It might do him a world of good.

Peddlin - Sorry to hear about your dad, life is short but memories are forever.

Sounds like Steven might just need the air of faire.... if he cant get there can you get some folks to garb up and go there?
Title: Re: Prayers for Steven
Post by: Peddlin on April 22, 2009, 07:29:40 AM
Thank you, Ladyfair -

My father would have been 90 in June, so I just keep telling myself that I was lucky to have him, as long as I did, and I am grateful for every minute of that time.

And I haven't lived in the area where Steven is for a very long time, so I wouldn't know where to look for someone with garb.

Post by: Escarlata on April 22, 2009, 05:21:03 PM
Peddlin', tell us where he is. I know several in Alabama in several different areas. I'll bet we could get something worked out. Heck, it's what's Fairemily is for!

Hey Esc -

He is in Huntsville. If you know somebody up there, I'm sure he would love it!

Stephen moved on today.......I know that by now Hoodoo, Forg'n and Devel'n have him in good company and they are sharing stories around a fire.

He will never be really gone as he left a piece of himself with all that ever met him.

Post by: Peddlin on May 15, 2009, 08:16:18 AM
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Steven was much too young to be taken, but he was also much too young to have suffered the way he did. His suffering is over, now, and he is in a much happier place, looking down on all of us and smiling. He knows...

Your kindness and support mean so much to me, and I know how lucky I am to have all of you in my life.

Love always,

Peddlin
