MY BROTHER

This is a picture of my brother(far right). I like to see a picture of who people are talking about and I am sure others do also. Both of my brothers were good looking when they were young. When I was still in elementary school and they were in high school, I would have all these girls, their age, come up to me and ask me to introduce them. They wanted to date them. It kind of annoyed me. But, I would go home and tell them what they said. One girl that lived on the same street as us was really pretty and went on to be Miss New Albany. My brother and her talked a few times but never dated. I think that was around the time that he met his future wife.

There were times we didn't get along. I was so upset with him at one time that I told my sister that once my mother was no longer living, that I would no longer have contact with him. It is one of those things that I can't believe I was that upset, but at the time I thought I had good reason to be. There are nine years diffence in mine and his age. He and my sister are only two years apart. But, I was the one he wanted to know first about his illness. He still hasn't contacted my sister.

I talked to my nephew on Wednesday after the surgery and he said that he actually has colon cancer and that it has spread to his lungs. He has stage four lung cancer. Needless to say the prognosis is not good. But, when he recovers enough from the surgery, he will begin chemo. Like my nephew said, all they can do is take it one day at a time.
