Thank Kindeyes for starting this...thank everyone else for sharing...I just hung up the phone with my brother. He's at another "all time low" and I wasn't angry, you folks and my FA group, have taught me better than that. But I felt sad...it was like missing someone.
Reading this, I realize I miss this crazy optimistic, good hearted guy who was my brother. He was the kid who played football and gave 110%. He loved to take care of his friends and gather as many people as possible, whenever possible. He loved the very idea of family. He adored his children. He was good to our Mom, no matter what she did. He was my brother.
A prayer for you my sweet sweet little brother.
