Im sorry to hear this, the best place for you is with your brother and family and hopefully at home.

I had a friend pass away today after a long battle with cancer, Wendell Cutting, he was 58, that's too young, he left a great legacy and did alot for the under-privileged throughout the world, the world is a better place because of him and his work.

My prayers are with you, be grateful for the times you had with him.

Mark,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. It's a sad thing that he and your family have to go through.

Cancer is a horrible thing. I lost both my mom and dad and grandparents to cancer and at 52 years old I am battling my own issues with post prostrate cancer treatment metastasis.

With no cure for your brother he will end his constant pain and suffering and move on to a better place.

Let the memories of his life fulfill you in taking the steps to maintain your health and to be a positive influence of such with others. Life is a very precious thing and even more so when faced with early age issues of mortality.

You may not be able to be with him in his later days but as a good brother I’m sure he knows how much you care.

God Bless, DH

Hey Mark and family
man oh man.In the end a man is measured not by what he has or has accomplished but by how many people are at his funeral.
If his time is down to weeks then that means you will be leaving for his funeral shorty right.I agree with some other ovservsations that you should go down a few days before his clock runs out and spend some time with him.
you were there for each other as you both discovered this world of ours growing up and now he will be on to a new discovery but alone.Just my 2Cents but this summer will play over and over with you for years to come.
I lost my mom at 52 and i had a whole 45 mins to prepare when i got the call and i was 45min away so i had to travel but was there. No regrets.
As always if i can help, if you need aplace to stay on your way from there to BC let me know.
one teener to another
Cheers
Andrew in the Soo

Mark,
If you can at most any cost---- go be with him. Close or not blood is blood family is family!!! My mother passed at 52 and I did not get to be with her at all. My best friend (and employer) passed away a couple years ago at the very very young age of 36 and it was hard, they did not have a name really for his cancer. but i was like family and he was my younger brother I spent some great time with him. Prayers are with you from all of us!! Can we help?

Evan

My thoughts are with you. If you can't be with him, talk to him on the phone as much as he can. Phone calls are cheap and you won't regret it, not for a minute.

Mark, I am very sorry to hear this.

Hang in there. I want to say you should be proud to have helped him when he needed it. You didn't want to do it but you stepped up and made sure he heard the message "put your affairs in order". It took a lot out of you to do that because you didn't have a lot to give after your dad.

Remember the good times, and remember him for the wonderful things he did. Discuss it with others and talk abot the silly things you did together. Call him or write to him. It will mean a lot.

We will put in a word for him with the big guy.

Take care,

Ken

My little brother, David, passed and it was difficult. But I have thought of him

every day for over forty years and just thinking of him keeps us close. I don't

think anyone is really dead if we continue to keep them close to us by

remembering them and telling the old stories to the next generation so they can

know him too. Sorry for your loss.
