Blood is thicker than water. Siblings may toss stones at each other, but when the time comes save one another.

Cute story. I had two, actually three brothers, but one who died young, I never knew, my other brother, John died. ( I can't remember the year ) but I had off from work on Black Friday before Thanksgiving and I drove to Downingtown to visit him.. I believe he died the next day! My brother was much older than me. My brother , G., who. is still alive, just turned 90 this month! And both brothers married when I was a child. My Brother, G. married in Sicily to a girl he knew when they were growing up. My other brother married in Downingtown when I was about 4 or 5 and I remember getting sick at the reception and I threw up! My brother, G., was in the Navy when I was a child and I wrote to him a lot! I wrote mostly letters when I was a child but my handwriting was terrible! Maybe I printed! My brother G. and his family lived with my mother, my father and me until the early 60's when they moved in next door. Our house was becoming overly crowded and I had to share a bedroom with someone! . In 1975, they moved a few blocks away.to a house they are still living in. My nephew now lives next door, since my brother still owns the house.

It means a lot to have such a loving and close family. I’m very sorry for your loss, Connie.
