brain dead and on life support. Doctors are waiting to turn off the respirator.
"It will happen whenever my mom says, 'I've had enough time with him,'" Elijah's

~ Hidden ~
~ We were never allowed to know you,
But please know that we really did care;
~ You were in our hearts, in our thoughts,
Even though the situation was unfair;
~ You were swept away as a young child,
Tucked away, to never be found;
~ Lost and alone as a little boy,
Left to wonder why half your family was not around;
~ Things could have turned out so differently,
If you were only allowed to be a part of our lives,
~ To share the joy throughout all of your years,
And not just the pain before your demise.
