Exactly. I'm so sorry your brother went through Hell, sorry about his daughter, sorry he died young (I assume he did, if he died 26 years ago), sorry for your own trauma and grief due to your being close to him and his terrible suffering.

Thanks. He was short of his 54th birthday, that's pretty young in my book. I'm 75.

Jeffrey, yes, your brother died way too young! And he suffered terribly all his life after his military service in Vietnam. That war was a horrific crime from start to finish. I'm 67, but it scarred me deeply, too. It seems to me that very few older Americans ever even refer to it these days, as though it were not the defining cataclysmic catastrophe of our generation.
