Oh no , what terrible news. I am so saddened to read this post. Brandon fought so hard to beat this . How shite is this disease to take a young man in his prime.
Never forget that you have been a wonderful Caregiver, Advocate and support person to Brandon. I hope that in time , you will remember all the good times. The times he made you laugh and smile. His strength in the face of adversity.
My heart goes out to you and your Family. Take care
Rest in Peace Brandon.
