Today my brother would've turned 55.
He completely missed his daughter and son growing up. She was three when he died. His son was three months. Stuck a needle in his vein and died from an overdose of heroin. He'd been straight/sober for eight years. When he fell off the wagon, he fell hard but at least he finally found peace. It's the ones he left behind that are still searching. |

I just answered someone in a PM, about how in December I will face another "would-be" birthday.
Had my other brother not died of Aids by sticking a needle full of heroin into his veins, he would be turning 53. They died within five years of each other. Both addicts. It's a complicated story, which makes the grief process difficult. As I look back and start to get my thoughts wrapped around everything, I see not only do I grieve their deaths, I grieve for our lives. If anyone is interested in reading it, here's the link. http://www.psychcentral.com/lib/2006/losing-in-life/ |

sorry i never saw this post sooner
sorry you are struggling ((((((((((((((((petunia and niece and nephew))))))))))))))))) __________________  No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
