Helpless

Mr. Neighbor's brother lives in south Connecticut. Just hours from us, really. He's dying. Cirrhosis of the liver and pancreatic cancer at its worst. Mr. Neighbor is unable to contain himself. He says little, which is so unlike him. He's incredibly depressed. He was a Vietnam hero, for God's sake! He cries, and I've never known him to cry

Poor Mr. Neighbor! :(

There have been precious few times that I have really felt sorry for him. But this is one. It's just so very, very sad to see how he's (not) dealing with the imminent death of his brother. His grief is so palpable. I hurt for him. I would give anything to get him there. He pretends it would make no difference, since his brother is so drugged-up that he's pretty much unaware of anything going on around him. Still, I think Mr. Neighbor wants to be there, but he tries not to think of how to get there now and only thinks of how he might get there for his funeral.

Thats shitty :(

I hope Mr Neighbor is ok, I know hes not the *greatest* but you both seem to look after each other in your own unique ways :D

It must be sad seeing him go through this.

*hugs*
