Thank you, I wasn’t aware of that! Ugh I guess you have to check every single thing you hear or read 😕 I was so pleased to hear that about the poor maligned animal that I didn’t check it 😡

I wasn't happy to hear it either. My big brother used to find baby opossums and would bring them home and we'd care for them until they could live on their own... He put them inside his t-shirt and ride around town on his bike. They'd crawl all over him, like it was a carnival ride!

Aww! Sounds so sweet! And reminds me very much of *my* older brother who was constantly bringing “critters” of all kinds home!

I'm so sorry! My precious big brother died peacefully his sleep in November 2019. I thank God every day, that he didn't have to live through the covid mess! He did beat his term life insurance policy by 3 days! That was a huge help for his wife who was diagnosed with dementia in June of 2019. It has been a difficult journey for her without him by her side. She lives with their oldest daughter now. I think about and miss him every single day. The best big brother any girl could hope to have!

Thank you. I’m so glad your brother didn’t have to live through all that too. And that his life insurance was able to take care of his wife—it’s good she has a daughter who can help ❤️ I know it’s been difficult for my sister-in-law and my niece to have my brother pass so unexpectedly.

It’s so hard when someone you love dearly is gone from your life. Today is the two year anniversary of my beloved mom’s death, I miss her terribly. And the anniversary of my brother’s death will be on the 30th. My dad passed away in December and his birthday was in March. March is a tough month for me lately 😞

You have really had so many loses in a short time! I am so sorry. How we push through is what matters. March is my brother's birthday month. It's never easy. My faith remains my stronghold. Without it, where is our hope?

Thank you. Yes the past few years have been difficult for me for sure. You are right, without my faith I don’t know where I would be, either. Thinking of you and praying for you throughput this especially difficult month. May the wonderful memories of your brother sustain you and the grace of God bring you comfort.
