i'm starting this because i was chatting with someone this morning about pictures of ourselves as kids.
i realized i didn't have any of myself so i got my mother to email me a few.
i promised i'd start a thread about it and if that person doesn't post the pic they sent me this morning, i will.

my brother turned 21 on september 24th, a month later the doctor told him that his leukimia had returned and he had a 10% chance of surviving.
ten days before he died he spent four days at my house.
he had already made up his mind that he wasnt going to take blood.
thank you so much everyone.... im crying again.... i have three older sisters. Im the youngest girl we all talked on the phone this morning and were just laughing so hard about all the funny stuff about my brother and the good times we had. My brother and i were the closest because we were the two youngest, and when we were little oh how we fought! I admire him for sticking up for himself and beating me up when i picked on him. He was always a fighter.all the punches he threw at me were well placed and well deserved. My little brother. He hated it when i referred to him as "little" brother. One time some of my friends came over and i introduced him as my little brother. Later he pulled me aside and was like " couldnt you just say younger brother? im not little!
he was the only one who could practically read my mind and know what i was going to say before i said it. we had sooo many inside jokes when him and i got together sometimes my stomach would hurt from laughing so hard!
i thank you for giving me some perspective in realizing that even though i dont agree with his beliefs he was willing to die for what he believed in and that in itself is admirable.
Im going to miss him so.......

The only way I made it through both my dad's funeral and my father-in-law's funeral this year at the KH was......<looking around and whispering> take a couple of good stiff swigs of something strong in the parking lot of the KH. Helped me relax a little
lol! good idea.. thanks i just might do that...

Sorry that your brother should die so young, DV. Would blood have helped, had he accepted it?
Possibly, the doctors said it would dramatically improve his chance of survival. And without blood there was nothing else they could do besides chemo.

Ten days before he died he spent four days at my house. He had already made up his mind that he wasnt going to take blood. I told him to at least reconsider and gave him as much information that I could. I dont know what he thought about it, but he said he didnt want to talk about it again.
I was on my way to the hospital last night when i got the call..... of course there were three JW elders there with their stupid "no blood" cards dangling around their neck. It was pretty surreal.....
I've never seen a dead body before or touched one. I did last night, his eyes were half open. It was very strange. I told him I loved him and kissed him on his forehead, then I said goodbye.
There were people from my moms cong there and i just wanted to scream, because they kept smoothering me with hugs and telling me he'll be in paradise earf
I hate the JW religon.... dont they realize how horrible this is and how wrong this is?

i'm going to offer some of my favorite quotations.
- non wt related - what are yours?
"i learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
I don't think there is a woman in the world who would not be a little flattered if one made love to her. It is that which makes women so irresistibly adorable.
Life is never fair...And perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Young men want to be faithful and are not; old men want to be faithless and cannot.
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

november 9th, i got the call at approx 5.15am that morning and have just arrived home from his house in the midlands for the first time since then.
age 65, very happy man regardless of his illness, had all his wits about him but didnt have any lungs left to help him make it through, suffered a lot.
never became a witness inspite of mom and 3 of his children being jws for years.
((((((Brummie)))))
My thoughts are with you and your family....
