(((CountryGirl))) - my goodness!
I seldom post, but goddamnit, I'm going to post here, because well...you've been a good on-line and pal to me, and many others.
Sort of an adopted sister; I lost my one and only sister in March 1967. So, Athene, I figured you were up for the task, and therefor I adopted you unofficially. But I like doing everything: unofficial.
Yes, I was aware your brother was not well. But now it seems things are not going well. Too bad he is so ingrained with the JW teachings, because you and I know, it 'could' have been different. Nonetheless, I know...you have loved him, unconditionally.
It always seems like things are so destitute at times like this, but something within us, somewhere deep down inside, cries out for help. Nothing wrong with that. Your cries have been answered, or at least paid careful attention to.
We're here.
Or a phone call away. Or perhaps, maybe even just a short visit away.
Wish I were nearer sis.
Off to send you an e-mail. No wonder I haven't heard from you.
For what it's worth, here's my post.
And it stands.
Hugs,
Yer Canuck Bro',
