Colleen, I was so sorry to read your latest news about your brother. I know what you mean about losing perspective. My father, who had congestive heart failure problems for years, went suddenly downhill right before he died and my mother didn't really notice it the way others did beause she was there for him everyday. It's good your other siblings are there now- I hope you can all be present with him in the time you have left and also be a comfort to each other.

I am keeping you in my thoughts.

Nelie
