In a dream, his mom said, “he was smiling, and he just said, ‘Mom, I’m OK. I’m OK. I’m not hurting.' And that gave me strength to deal with the next day.”
Jaseem Thomas lay still in a hospital bed, his eyes closed. White gauze encircled his head, framing his young face. The 16-year-old could no longer breathe on his own; a ventilator was keeping him alive.
In the days that followed, doctors confirmed through multiple tests that Jaseem’s brain activity had ceased, and on Monday at 2:05 p.m.,Thomas said that even amid pain so raw that her vision blurred, she thought back to her dream, and knew how her son’s legacy could live on “We think it’s a reflection of who Jaseem was and how he lived his life,” Hasz said. “Through his death, he was truly a hero.”
