Big Sister Mode

Children should come in pairs b/c you need your sibling to lean on when a parent is sick or dying. No one else can honestly understand what you're going through besides your brother or sister.

Moving on...

I'm 4 years older than my brother and have always seen him as a baby. I give him advice on school, careers, girls -- you name it, even when it is not solicited. In respect to my brother, I consider myself a fountain of knowledge. Today I had no advice to give.

BD*: What do we do about dad?
Me: I dunno.
BD: You need to know.
Me: I have to no idea how to wrap my mind around this.
BD: You're my older sister, I need you for emotional support.
Me: I need dad.

For the first time, we're equals. We're both equally lost on how to deal with the possibility of loss of this magnitude.

*BD = Bengali Dude

My heart pours out to you. If there was a magic word that I could tell you to make it easier, I would. Take it step by step, day by day, and breath. You and your brother will grow stronger than ever from this; you must be a team and be each others support. You are in my heart.

I don't know what I would do if I were in your sich....and to think, my brother doesn't talk to me unless he HAS to...and he's supposed to be the older more mature one. ugh.
You and your family are in my thoughts....and prayers!

I'm sorry that last month's good health report didn't last longer, BC.

Stay strong. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

It's too overwhelming to deal with. I don't think there's any way to prepare. *hugs*
