Sibling Obligations
I am new to this whole Brother is sick and needs my help thing so I'm sure that I am making a lot of mistakes which in the future, long after he has recovered and is home, will make themselves known and will make me think, "Fuck. I could have done it that way and it would have been easier." There is no handbook with a map insert showing you how to navigate all this. It's a heavy load to carry and yes, it's tiresome and draining but I do it because the alternative is not an option. To continue to have my brother in my life is the only option I have and I refuse to think of living a life without him. 2 months ago was the worst. I cried like I have never cried before, my heart hurt so very much because I came face to face with losing him. Having the Quality of Life Talk with his doctor, consenting to a DNR, is gut wrenching. I dreamt of eulogizing him. For real. WTF was that dream all about? But now, with the little strides we have made, I now fantasize about the humongous homecoming party we are going to have.
