Your situation has led you to finding your youngest brother, and may lead you to find you youngest sister. hopefully both of these past realationship florish even out of this tradegy.

i strongly believe in divine intervention. and i think you're right.

WOW....I'm floored to read such a touching and honest post.....Thanks Ruby...I will be rooting for you and your family !!

Thanks for the honest post! We all need to remember that life is short and to cherish every moment we can. I lost my dad almost 18 years ago when I was 28 and I still cry about it. He was only 59... You did the right thing reaching out to your brother. You have no idea what he will be like, but I suspect he will be OK. It is amazing how much family is alike. You are a beautiful person and your mother is in my prayers...

my mom is only 44 :cry: and i just found out from one of my baby brother's myspace friend's that he is now in the navy :cry:
i gave him mine and my brother's number to have justin contact us. i can do nothing more aside from wat patiently.

RubyTS, thanx for sharing.

I think a lot of people on here can relate to your situation, at least a little bit.

Me for instance, i saw my grandpa die and suffer only three years ago.

As odd as it sounds, and as brutal the whole situation was, in hindsight it seemed necessary. to remind all of our family what life is, how despite of all the rows and fights that we had in our family that we all belong together and that death is not the end, but the start of something new.

that is at least what i hope for, and all our loved ones live in eternity - in our fond memories.

my thoughts and best wishes for your Mom. As awful as it must be to face such an horrible illness and scary prognosis, I hope she feels what a real blessing she has to have her daughter at her side as well as in her heart.

Ruby, thanks so much for posting this. Talking/writing about it all seems to help a bit in sorting out what you need to do or say. I've had some family issues over the past couple of years that have had me regretting not having spent more time with the people closest to me.

I wish you the very best in reconnecting your family and also best to your mom.

thank u all for your support during this time. i cant express how much i value it. You're all very sweet and i will give my mom your regards. She loved the thought ofme putting her on the internet lol.

Dear Ruby:
Please allow Jessica and I to lend our support to you and your family. Cherish the time you have.

If you ever need someone to talk to please don't hesitate to call me.

Hugs to you and you Mom.

TS Jamie and Jessica

your family is in my prayers. god bless.
