I didn't have enough time with either of them or my parents either. They are gone now too and have been for many years. Be grateful for the extra years you gained with him. Those memories made are very precious.<br /><br />kkhaas at bellsouth dot netKaren Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932234087746848925.post-53039301224847975892010-10-29T08:07:44.687-04:002010-10-29T08:07:44.687-04:00awww that is sad :( Sorry for youe lost but at lea...awww that is sad :( Sorry for youe lost but at least you got extra time with him <br /><br />meandi09@yahoo.comJennifer Mathishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348224965449535905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932234087746848925.post-2035328041563402832010-10-29T07:06:10.296-04:002010-10-29T07:06:10.296-04:00I lost my dad to the same cancer about thirteen ye...I lost my dad to the same cancer about thirteen years ago. It went very quickly as they had very little treatment they could do since it was in the brain.

All I wanted to do after it was over was to talk about it; I never knew such pain before and talking about it was the only quick relief I got. It was like constantly having to get a huge burden off my chest. I only have one brother, and I cannot even go mentally where you are going in reality. Take care of yourself-big hugs!Marianne Strnadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248182479776022425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932234087746848925.post-17844657217962146802010-10-24T12:56:11.361-04:002010-10-24T12:56:11.361-04:00Thank you so much for your comforting thoughts.

That was mine until 1976 . . . Marianne Graham. I worked at a supermarket chain in Michigan called Chatams at the time and when people teased me about my last name I would hold up a package of Keebler Deluxe Grahams and say: "That's me!"Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560925536585398778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932234087746848925.post-53628966808594658302010-10-24T11:52:36.118-04:002010-10-24T11:52:36.118-04:00Marianne:

You have to give yourself time and space to grieve and then you have to give yourself permission to go on. <br /><br />You can take him with you on your journey. Pull out the happy memories from time to time and re-live them. And once in a while, have a mental chat with your brother. <br /><br />You can keep the best of him with you and you might be surprised how much comfort, support and guidance you can get through your "visits." <br /><br />The ones we love only leave us if we let them go.Mary Anne Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002430141652464640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932234087746848925.post-62727519879335039372010-10-24T07:03:13.990-04:002010-10-24T07:03:13.990-04:00OH, Marianne... so hard for you now, but so amazin...OH, Marianne... so hard for you now, but so amazing. My dad died from lung cancer and it's a terrible disease. You really were blessed to have him six amazing years after his first diagnosis.
