My older brother died today. I just got the phone call a few hours ago, and since then have felt so supported and loved by two of my dearest friends, and my sweet niece who is also my friend. He was 17 years older than I, so he was more like an uncle to me than a sibling. He was a person who really "got" me, and that is a very rare and wonderful thing. If you feel that the world is a little less tonight than it usually is, that would be why.
I wrote about my brother a few years back here. He was a good man.

I'm very sorry, Susan. From what you've said about him, he had every reason to be proud of his life and how he lived it. That's a fine thing for anybody to be able to say at the end of their lives.
