Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Radmila, I remember you very well and even remember yrs ago when you first joined the list...the wonderful stories you would share with me/others about your brother. I am very sorry to hear of your brother (and best friends) passing. I really cannot imagine the hurt you may be feeling right now, but I am glad you felt you could come to this list for support. Take care, and let us be here to support you in any way. > Hi, > > Some of you may remember me from before (like a few years ago) when I was a regular member of this list, posting a lot of messages... But for the others (many) who don't know a single thing about me I'm just going to say that I am Radmila from Bosnia (ex Yugoslavia republic), 22 years old, SMA type 2. The reason I'm writing now is because my dear brother (also SMA type 2) died 7 days ago. > > Even though I haven't written regularly here... and it's been so long since my last post, I felt compelled to share this sad news with people on this list too, because my brother used to read the posts on this list, although he never said anything on the list. > > Well, you may imagine how hard it is for me these days......

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Dearest Radmila, My wife Vickie {vic549@...} used to speak of you all the time. She and her brother also had/have SMA type 2, and she marvelled at the struggle you and your brother had in your country. I remember stories about having to get down stairs in your apartment building - what an effort to go anywhere. I understand your pain only too well. Vickie died exactly as your brother on July 12th. I was with her, holding her hand, but it was still unexpected. She was MY best friend, and I am scarcely better able to cope today than two months ago. The only one I could talk to about her was my own brother - we exchanged emails and phone messages and then only 4 days after Vickie'd death, I received the news that he also had died, of an unexpected heart attack. I am just numb. I spend much time with Vickie's brother with SMA, one of her sisters, and mother, but nothing seems to help. If you need someone, who understands to talk to - I am here. My love and prayers to you and your family, Bob C Manning Jr PO Box 1248 Decatur GA 30031-1248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi e, Thank you for your nice words. Yes, really brothers are the best. How I miss mine.... no words can describe how much I miss him... And still it seems unreal that he's gone. Today it's 8 days since his death... And still somehow I think like this is just a bad dream... and when I wake up next morning he will be here like he used to. Definitely nobody was a better friend to me than him. Nobody. e, I've been following your posts throughout the years... and I've been following almost every discussion on this list, even though I wasn't really writing. My life has changed so much since 2003... for the better... up until last week. When I say " changed for the better " I mean that I got a new accessible apartment in 2003, with elevator inside the building and a wheelchair accessible exit and entrance to the building... So, I've been spending so much time outdoors... and I got engaged with some other work projects... So, I've been really active and busy since 2003 up until now. But now... suddenly my life seems broken... like a piece of glass... But I am aware that life must go on... Thank you, Radmila Radmila, I'm so sorry.... That must be so hard. I have a brother two years younger than myself with SMA 2 also, and I can only imagine what you must be going through. Brothers are the greatest, aren't they? I wish I could say something that would help, but for what it's worth, I'm thinking about you! I miss hearing from you! I used to love emailing with you and reading your posts on the list. If you ever want to chat--about your brother or anything else--send me an email. Love ya, e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Thank you, Missy. Yes, he really was a great guy... not because he was my brother, but really everyone who had a chance to meet him they loved him. He was a very optimistic, positive person... with such a great sense of humor... He used to joke a lot and he loved life... He was just full of life. Radmila I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure we would have loved him also. Just from the little bit you desctibed here I bet he was/is a great guy.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi Angie, Thank you for your nice, comforting words. I am sorry to hear about your father. I know the pain very well... I just know my brother is in heaven... like your father too. Radmila Radmila, Losing any family member is difficult. I lost my father, 2001 October 21 to a rare brain tumor. Like you, he was my bestest friend and I miss him greatly. All I can say is keep those happy thoughts of your brother with you and life will slowly make its way back to a liveable state. I don't know who you are, but we all know heartache and we'll be as supportive as you need us to be. Take care, Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Thank you, Alana. Yes, I have many more pictures of him. His name is Milos... but we all called him Miso. I know... A very weird name for you. I will try to put some more of his photos in the album soon. I will let you know when I do it. Radmila Dear Radmila, I'm very sorry about your brother. I'm glad you thought to come here for support. Do you have any pictures more pictures of him? I like the one of you and him that you have up in the photo album. What's his name? Please feel free to chat on or off the list. Sincerely, Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi , I remember you very well too...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Radmila, Miso is a very sweet name. Not too weird for me here because I live in a very international community. Funny...here miso is a Japanese fermented grain paste used mostly for soup broth. Makes sense and sounds quite affectionate to call Milos " Miso. " I know you can't imagine life without him. I still feel that way about my father who passed away 8 years ago. Don't be hard on yourself. Take the time you need to be as sad as you feel. Healing will come.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Dear Bob, I wrote you on private mail a few days ago but it kept telling me that it can't be delievered to you... I just wanted to say thank you for your nice words. Of course I remember your wife Vickie and I am so sorry to hear that she passed away. I am sad that I didn't know about that before, only now I found out from you... It must be so hard for you, I know that. It's horrible when we lose our loved ones... But we need to be strong. Life must go on. Radmila Dearest Radmila, My wife Vickie {vic549@...} used to speak of you all the time.

I'm sad to inform you she passed away last night while on a work-related trip in Tanzania. I don't have all the details yet, so I'll send another message when I know more. - Venla SMA II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
