Sherry, I'm so sad to hear of your bother's situation. I lost my brother to a massive stroke 12 years ago. I, of course, expected my hero to live forever. Sherry, your love for your brother has been so sweet through these last several months. My heart breaks for you as you deal with "just one more thing"! The champion comes out in you as you give your best to him when he needs you. I can see that line now being thrown out to snag that fish! I hope for a glorious time at the "ol fishin' hole"! God bless you, ma
