Goodbye, Everybody is the story of a thirteen-year-old boy who, during an open-heart surgery, suffered a massive brain injury because a blood clot or an air bubble passed through the heart-lung machine, which shut off the oxygen to his brain. Before this tragedy occurred, Kevin's future was very bright. He was a young man with many attributes. These included being a caring and loving individual, an excellent student, and a talented athlete. It was not time for Kevin to die as God had other plans for him. With His assistance and guidance through years of adversity, he has become a wonderful person, a loving husband and parent, and one of our Father's workers. In this story of a precious life saved, I have tried to describe the mountains Kevin had to climb to get out of the crevices in the deepest canyons in which he had been thrown. I would hope that other families who find themselves in this situation and with their own rocky mountain to scale would turn to God to help them with patience and fortitude.
