What do you think? R&R
Sarah's thoughts
I looked up at him then turned back and looked at my brother. We sat there in silence for a long time then he finally spoke up," The doctor said that he is brain dead. I want to take him off life support." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
What right does he have to say I have to let you go? Why does he get to show up after all these years and tell me that you have to go, that I have to let you go? You're my brother. I'm not ready to let go. He can't make me let you go.
He tried to put his hand on my shoulder but I pulled away. He said," Say you're good-byes. It's time to let him go. He's not here anymore anyways. Let him go Sarah." I shook my head no," You can't make me let him go. You aren't his father; you aren't my father. I get to decide when to let him go. I'm his family. I'm his only family." He said," I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way. One day you'll understand this all. He's ready to rest, and I know you don't want to see him suffer."
How do you know how I feel? You don't know me. Please don't leave me. You're all I have left. You have to wake up. It's just been us our whole life's we've always had each other. I need you now, so please, don't go.
The next day they turned the machines off. I knew it's what he really would have wanted but I didn't want to admit that to my dad. I didn't want him to know that he was right that my brother would never have wanted to live like this. At least my dad let me make one decision; he let me donate my brother's organs. At least something good would come out of all of this. At least someone else would have a normal life.
