A wish for my brother.

I've thought about how journals work. Everyone's different. Where people will divulge everything and anything that happens in their day, others only hint at what's going on in their lives (with everything in between).

I've always been the latter. However, life has changed rather dramatically for my family recently and I suddenly have the urge to have some kind of record for whats coming.

My brother has recently been diagnosed as having a rather horrible brain tumour. The doctors have given him 6 to 15 months. Maybe, 2 years at the outset.

Its taken a week and I still can't get my head around it. I've done the research on line and the info out there is scary. There are those that have beaten it, but not many.

He has a six year old son that he may not see grow up. He has five brothers and four sisters, and none of us can do anything to help. I've never felt so helpless in my life.

I thought about not saying anything on here. Maybe starting a paper journal instead. But I know I wouldn't keep it up.

Please don't feel that you have to comment, just the opportunity to get some things off my chest is all I really need.

Thanks.
