Our oldest son, Josiah Bastedo, passed away suddenly on Thursday morning here in our home.
I'll spare the general forum the details, if you want to know more you can send me a PM or email.
He was 22 years old, he was a good and gentle person who unfortunately suffered from mental illnesses.
He constantly helped me around the house, he was a strong young man and did a lot of heavy lifting for me.
I can't express how much I miss him.
This is not something we ever even thought we should be prepared to deal with. We have had to make many heart wrenching decisions over the past few days.
We have close friends and family who have been helping us by coming over and spending time with us and bringing us meals.
I don't have to go back to work for a while, so that is a blessing.
I am not asking for anything, I just want to let you all know why I will probably not be posting much here for a while.
Family members are giving us loans and gifts to help with the expenses.
Here he is at 153 Fish Camp in Alaska with a Halibut he caught.
That was a great trip with my son Josiah, I wish we could do it again.
