RE: Re:ALOT to say.. mostly me whining. ~~Tigger~~

[Guest guest]

You are so lucky to have someone like your brother in your life. I know you

realise it as well. My brother lives in Olympia, and has many health issues of

his own, including very bad diabetes as well as ?? (stress syndrome from Viet

Nam, BAD brain fog today) Anyway, he has all the side effects from diabetes

including heart and circulatory problems. He barely has strength to take care of

himself, although he IS married to an RN which helps him I'm sure. We have never

been that close anyway. It is really hard being entirely on my own. Sometimes I

think the worst of my depression comes from that. Of course, there are times I

actually LIKE being on my own, but it does get lonesome and scary at times. At

least I have a few good friends. That helps. But, I must say, I am jealous of

you.

Peace and Love
