My brother Stan died last Friday morning. He'd had recurring bladder cancer. The chemo ruined so much of him and he got Covid for the first time over New Year weekend 2023. Now I am the sole living person from our immediate family. He has three grown kids and four grandchildren. Lived in Georgia, so I hadn't seen him since 2018. I had three older brothers (he was 2nd oldest).
Our sib relationship wasn't so good starting a few years after he married the 2nd wife. She was getting him to try to get money from our poor mom and change her will (she didn't). He changed a lot then. Our youngest brother died in 2016 (in New Jersey), Stan came up and we started to become closer. He split with the wife in 2018 and seemed so much nicer from then on. Saw him three times that year when he came up to New Jersey to see high school friends (I went down there from the city).
Hope it was OK for me to post this here.
