My brother was found dead in his house yesterday. He lived alone and had been dead for some time, most likely from a heart attack. His landlord was concerned because they hadn't seen him in several days. He had a history of heart problems - 3 previous heart attacks and 2 mild stokes.
We talked him into moving over to the town of Spring Hope 2 years ago. My wife and I own a farm here and my wife inherited the house next door from her aunt. My parents have been living there for 5 years. We wanted my brother closer by because of his health.
His life had been a bit hard and I can't help beating myself up for not doing more for him.
2 1/2 years ago my sister was stabbed to death by a crack junkie in the kitchen of the church where she ran the Meals on Wheels program for the city of Rocky Mount, NC. He approached her asking for help. He was homeless and hungry. She made him a sandwich and called to make arraignments to get him a cot in a homeless shelter. To thank her for her help he stuck a large kitchen knive in her chest. She died immediately. He stole her cell phone , walllet and car. He later traded the cell phone for crack. The dealer was caught and so was the POS. He's doing 3 life sentences with no possibilty of parole. I want him dead and I want to be the one who kills him, but that will never happen. My mother's birthday was the next day after her murder.
The worse thing is the effect on my parents. My mother is 80 and my dad is 84. They've both pleaded with me to take care of myself. A parent's worse nightmare is surely to outllive their children. I regard myself as a Christian, but I firmly believe one does not pray for things for oneself, but rather one prays for the benefit of others. However, I find myself asking the Lord to keep me alive as long as my parents are alive. They surely could not survive losing all of their children.
I'm crying like a baby right now and glad no one is here to see me.
