At least you would have your family gathered round for strength and support ~ but then your brother falls ill and suddenly dies? What a shock! I'm so sorry Sandra!<br /><br />I hope your own malady is behind you, as you move forward toward the longer, brighter, warmer days of Spring and Summer... Your heart must be heavy... But I feel that indomitable spirit of yours, that brought you to a new life in a foreign land, will get you through this dark passage in life... <br /><br />Stay strong!<br />Hugs...<br />Heidi <br /><br />Ciao Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744425762303273321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246646616214786952.post-59164177250966976412013-03-25T14:21:26.010-04:002013-03-25T14:21:26.010-04:00Dear Sandra,

A close friend's family has had two funerals within 5 weeks already this year - a mother and grandmother - it's too much too close.
