He lived 17 years, that is pretty good, incredible really.
Back then, and even now, it was difficult to find and diagnose heart or blood vessel problems
Some people go through their entire lives with some kind of condition
or deviation from the normal. Some survive some don't .
I am glad you had your brother for 17 years, and I know personally that loss was crushing. s
My sister, Dorothy, went on with her life just normally, when she was younger I do recall she had headaches, but later on she was a smoker. Her husband also smoked. They were always smoking. They had two kids, those kids do smoke now and then, or I smell it on them.
Dorothy, my sister, died at age 48 in 2001. She had a stroke a few months after going on a school overseas trip to Spain with her daughter, Sally.
At some point through brain scans they could see she had arteriovenous malformation (AVM)
I wonder how many people have other sorts of blood vessel or heart abnormalities and live long? She never had any test to find out in her earlier years
I know you think of him. yes, he was a genius. My sister had so many gifts. One was patience.
She was always kind and used to laugh at difficult struggles. She was kind of mean to me when i was little, but I grew 6 inches taller than her and got her back by making many things of hers out of reach, like her car keys.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Collette! It's a shame you didn't get to grow old together with your brother. I know you will see him again someday.
Your story made me tear up. It's precious that you have that memory of his triumphant slide.
Thanks!

Good memory, and thoughts of what could have been
You always have such wonderful things to say. Thank you!
