Great post on the exploding number of blogging Mom's. We have so much to say! I am on the west coast...originally from the midwest. So if you are ever looking for a west coast Mom's perspective, please pop by zestolife.blogspot.com. We cover all the little things that add ZEST to life!

The sister keeping it all together

You've been the one keeping it all together. What a week indeed (and only two more days to get him back up to you. Ugh.) All I can say about the rug is arrgghh! There are no words for that. At least no words I want to actually use.) You and your wonderful husband deserve the biggest thanks for everything. Does that help?

Family matters

I do what I can, cry when I have to, and laugh when I choose.

This has been a week, a holiday endured. He asked me today how my Christmas was, an impossable question. He does not acknowlege the depths of distress that were suffered on his behalf, he did not ask of it. He used the money saved from his rental car return to buy his lady friend the rug.She helped him pick it out. She couldn't manage to get to the hospital for 5 days, but could go shopping. It is hard to remain as quiet as I know I need to be.

Sounds Like Our Brothers Have the Same Phone

Laura, my emotions are so on the surface right now. Your comments made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Thanks for your words. They mean a lot to me right now.

Stuggling with a Brother

rebellious thinker — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:23:44 -0600

Does love, of whatever kind, always bring with it some degree of grief? Or is it simply caring about someone so much and them not being capable of doing what we think they need to do? Love, maybe it's about accepting, as hard as that is, those things that make us well up inside and want to scream.

My brother (there's just the two of us), has a special phone that only enables him to call me once a year. He is what he is. And since he is a brother, he still gets my love.

Wow to your sister and her kidney donation. And to all of your family in supporting him as he has struggled, and as he has found ways to express himself that seem counter to what one would hope.

Glad to see that girlfriend and brother have their priorities straight. At least you don't need to depend on them for help.

Health to your brother, or lack of more suffering, or what it is that he needs.
