thedarkhorse (67) · 6 years ago

Brian I knew from Lynn that things were going worse from you, that and I hadn't heard from you on Discord. It's sad that you feel this might be your last post here, but glad you said we will keep in touch on discord. When you sent me the message yesterday I couldn't come here to read the post...odd right? Something that I knew was coming sooner or later, just kept holding out hope it would be later.

I have enjoyed our chats and becoming friends who have yet to meet in real life. Truly hope one day we get to grab that beer together.

briancourteau (59) · 6 years ago

I will still be on discord. Tell Wolfhart to keep well and fight hard. You my friend are an amazing person. Lokk ater your great family and I have something planned lol just for you. Beers we will have in this life or the next.

thedarkhorse (67) · 6 years ago (edited)

Funny you worded it that way about the beers, had it almost word for word like that and then changed it to try and stay more positive. Wolf hart is fighting hard and even came back to judge this week to give Lynn the week off. He said it would be good for him to have a mental break from everything. It's an off week for the Kemo so he has some downtime. Then he's back at the Kemo next week.

Not sure if I should be excited or scared....I remember what we did to Lynn with the clowns...so you having something planned for me could go either way...lmao.

iamstan (62) · 6 years ago (edited)

I have not met you and Lynn before today. I am part of the steemitweekly team. Today we posted your story on our weekly. I can not imagine dealing with this. I can not even hold back the pain I feel for both of you.

Your story has touched me in a very profound way. Please don't lose hope, even in the worst circumstances we still can stay friends with hope. Hope is something we can keep close to us even after we have given up on everything else.

If you will stay hopeful and not forget that we don't know what is next after this shell we call a body is gone. Maybe we are just seeds and until we are planted in the earth we have not even been born? Maybe the beginning of life is what happens when we are buried? When we become one with the soil we came from? Just maybe there is no reason to be sad or sorrowful because we don't really know what is going on?

Please don't lose hope, please don't forget we are just like a blade of grass that withers in the sun.

There is so much more to this life than what we experience daily. So much we don't have a clue about.

I am a hard a calloused man, my life has been rough and without much mercy. I have faced more than most people can fathom but I still have not faced this. Our world is a brutal place from our finite knowledge of how things work. I hope we are all wrong about the end of the story.

So trust and hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

My family will keep you in our prayers.

Lynn definitely is a special woman and it does feel like we've gotten to meet you both in person. It would be great to actually meet you in person sometime, but even if that doesn't happen, our lives have been better for having known each other.

There's much in life that you can do to have fun, but oftentimes, the things that are the most enjoyed or fondly remembered are those that were done with a close friend. It's the people that make the occasion special. Thanks for your friendship over the last year, even encouraging me when I was having hard times.

Man, that's beautiful! I know Lynn will cherish those words for many years to come. Your love for each other is a great example for anyone who wants to know how a marriage is supposed to look.

Still praying for you to get more long walks on the beach together and to get that more dips in the ocean!

briancourteau (59) · 6 years ago (edited)

Our lives have definately been better for meeting here. Steemit has changed my life and in my heart I do believe and know that some people here will meet my girl face to face. I will remember not spending one dime on a date with Lynn and to this day it is my most precious memory. Truly that day burns in my soul. I wish our friendship could be so much longer but if not you to my friend have made my days encouraging too. I will forever be there to help guide all of the one that God allows me too. Peace my brother. Every day hug your wife tight as life is way to freakin short. Live, Love and Laugh every chance you get

Good to hear from you again. I am very happy to see you both together and loving each other. That is something that most of the rest of the world will never experience.

Love at first sight.
Makes you soar like an eagle in flight.

Till death do us part.
A pledge not many take too heart.

A love burning so hot, a feeling taking you so high.
Much like Icarus's last flight, but this is not goodbye.

Fear not getting your new wings and meeting St. Peter at the gate.
I know in my heart of hearts that you will tell him you can not enter without your true love and there you will wait.

allseeingewe (63) · 6 years ago

A lot of us have been talking about your post and about @lynncoyle1's posts... we're all so very moved and touched by what you're going through that we don't have the words to respond. I just deleted, re-pasted, edited and re-edited the last sentence 3 times just to finally make it be right.

It's probably still not right. Here's what I've been wanting to tell you both for days. I hope it comes out okay...

Brian- your dignity and grace in the face of the Great Inevitable is so unbelievably... so gut-wrenchingly, heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you for showing us how to do it so well. I hope that when my time comes, I will be able to invoke some of the strength you've shown here. I admire you so much. I'm just sorry I never found you until now because I bet, back before getting ready to die became your main focus in life, you were a total badass facing all the other crap life tosses at us. I hope that you know how meaningful it is that you're sharing this part of your life with us here. You are on your way TO something wonderful, as awful as it is to be on your way AWAY from your family.

@lynncoyle1... babe... please remember that death isn't bad news for the dying. It's just that it hurts so bad for us that stay behind to miss our friends. If you haven't already seen this old poem, I hope it will help... if you have, I hope it will remind you that Brian is about to embark on a new journey that you, yourself will join him on eventually. Please keep doing what you're doing. It's the exact, right, perfect thing! We love both of you very much so whenever it gets darkest, remember that we're all right here.

To everyone else who is struggling to write a meaningful comment, it's not your fault. We're trained to revile death. It's the worst boogieman ever in a lot of cultures and that training is total bullshit! We can't even say "he died".. we say, "he passed away" or some other such flowery nonsense. If you're finding it hard to tell Brian and Lynn your feelings because you're worried about how best to construct them appropriately, remember this: there is nothing more appropriate than dying. It is what we all will do. Don't let the words trip you up. Reach out now while you have the chance to. And While you're at it, hug your kids, call your moms and treat yourself to a second helping of dessert. It's later than you think!

I’m so sorry you are going thru this. You and @lynnecoyle1 have truly touched my heart. You guys not only helped me deal and fight thru my cancer..... but you helped me deal with my doubt of love .... you helped me realize that even if what I had wasn’t real .... real love ( although it may be rare.). does exist.... you guys have helped me
Understand that sometimes ... things happen ...that it’s not necessarily a matter of luck ... or a matter of destiny ... things just happen..... in these short months .... you two have taught me so much about life .... love ... and friendship.

Brian, you and @lynncoyle1 are very special people. You have opened your hearts and shared the toughest time in your lives. When it would be easy to shut yourselves away in self-pity, you have showed us that your love is true, solid and an inspiration to others.

When your time comes, it will not be goodbye, for you are a true Warrior with an honourable and fighting spirit, and I have no doubt, we shall meet again in Valhalla.

We will take good care of @lynncoyle1

Dear Brian, I've been interacting a lot more with @lynncoyle, but you are also in my heart. I always get happy whenever I see a picture of you together, you are the example of a loving couple. You both have good hearts and I wish this all wasn't happening to you.. Glad to read you have peace with it all, that's something that takes strength!

Your poems are beautiful, and I'm sure many of the Steemit members, and your lovely wife will read them over and over again. I read that you are afraid to be forgotten, please know that each and every one of us that has followed your story, will have you in our heart forever. You have touched many hearts, maybe more than you know..

I find it amazing that a person I've never met in real life can make such an impact.. but it's true you both did. I hope you will be able to make some more wonderful memories together with your loved ones, and that your last journey will be a peaceful one ...

ps: If I will be able to come to Mexico, I hope I will meet @lynncoyle1 so I can finally give her a real hug!

I'm so sorry that I made you cry! I believe @lynncoyle1 has made friends for life alone on Steemit, I can't imagine how many people must love her there where you live.. I told my boyfriend about this post yesterday and how nice it would be to meet Lynn one day, he actually told me when you want, just book it :-) I've never been to Mexico (was on my list for years though) and I'm not sure how that would be with a toddler (flying that many hours) but my intentions are to visit next year.. Tell that to Lynn ok? She promised me to show me around :)

I hope you can let go of that fear you have, because how can people forget you when you have made such a huge impact on them even while we're on the other side of the world. Please don't be afraid, try to bend that into some positive moments with your loved ones instead.

Much love from Budapest!

Dear Brian - i just arrive at your blog and i am deeply impressed by your story (i like to read about you and your love ...)

Whiping away my tears i wish you good luck for your next journeys - we never know... My advice is no medicine or alternative doctor but the knowledge, that you can't fight against cancer - you have to accept it in your life, get in touch and talk with it and begin to love it. There is no war in the world that makes everyone a winner...

Viel Glück für deine weiteren Reisen, wohin auch immer und höre auf zu kämpfen. Kampf ist kein Heilungsweg!!!! Love and light for you both!

It is difficult for me to write when tears come unbidden and cloud my vision after reading this remarkable tribute to your friends and more importantly to your beautiful wife, Brian. They aren't really tears of sadness and sorrow but tears of awe which have welled up from deep within my soul because this is where your love song has reached..........Your inspired and annointed words have touched the untouched parts of my soul because I have come face to face with true love and dedication and it is a very healing thing to encounter.

How many millions of lovers pledge to remain faithful to their partners, "In Sickness and in Health"........."For Richer or For Poorer" yet fail when the going gets tough? What you and Lynne have shared during your marriage is what everyone longs for in a relationship, but sadly, not many are willing to love unconditionally and with a sacrificial kind of love that puts the other one first, over an extended period of time.

I'm sure Lynne has engraved those poignant words of yours into her heart and soul and I have no doubt that she couldn't wish for a more protective and caring angel to watch over her when your spirit leaves your body Brian. Your spirit, which is the true essence of you, remains. It lives forever and the day that your two spirits and souls re-unite will be one of joyful celebration.

I love your phrase: "I am but a whisper away." It speaks of intimacy, and everlasting love. I can't thank you enough for sharing your strength and faith with us all. It means so much. May God Bless you both and may you feel His loving presence every single minute.

I've been reading your story and that of your wife for a short time now. I just never 'found' you guys any time before that. However, I just never knew how to respond and what to say, and it seemed like everything I would say would be wrong. So I didn't. This time I feel like I have to. Not because this may be your last post (for a while) but because your words took my breath away...Somehow, a sad story and sad time, made me cry and laugh at the same time. I can see and feel the love the two of you have for each other, and it doesn't seem fair that something like this ugly disease had to grasp you. But somehow, in none of your words, I ever heard defeat. I have great respect for you both and even though we never spoke, some love too.

I am reading this poem alone in a coffeeshop, thinking of how beautiful life is for spending time with so much love with someone you are ready to leave earth because life was more than enough for a memory. Dying is no longer fear when you have lived the best, loved the sweetest and laughed the hardest with someone that's specially made for you. I am inspired. I thank this coffee latte for warming up my days as much as warming up my mind as I read your poetry. It brings a lot of sincerity and true love. Life is truly beautiful.
