As the Saving Private Ryan star's family weigh up the devastating decision as to whether to turn off his life support, his twin sons urged their dad: "wake up dad. don't leave me like this."

Tom, 61, fell unconscious on February 18 and was found lying in his home after suffering a brain aneurysm. He remains in a coma as the family prepare to make the heart wrenching decision for him.

In an emotional post by Jayden, the teen wrote: "I’m so numb dad. Please lord tell me this is only a bad dream, give me the strength my dad would want me to carry, this was never supposed to happen.

"I’ve been thriving dad, trusting the process, embracing adversity and chasing my dreams like your always wanted for me all you wanted was for me to have a opportunity to succeed and evolve into the best version of myself."

The post continued: "We bumped heads because we’re so much alike,” it continued.

"I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you when u needed it most. You can’t go like this, wake up dad, please don’t leave me like this."
