Aearwen,

Thank goodness that he's on the mend! I can certainly understand his being on the brink -it's not hard to imagine the emotional or mental anguish your brother went through. The fact that you also had your moment of that hell, and came out of it, speaks of your great strength. Your brother will get better, I am sure of it. With you there, I can't imagine any other alternative.

Many hugs and love your way mellon nin,
Vanime
