(12,154 posts)I'm really sorry to hear about this. When I read your post I thought of this beautiful song by Lucinda Williams (probably not at all similar to your brother's situation, but the vibe of the song reminds me of how you might be feeling):
Little Angel, Little Brother
Lucinda Williams
Your R & B records, your music books
Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks
I see you now at the piano
Your back a slow curve
Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino
While I sang all the words
Little angel, little brother
Your bad habits and your attitude
Your restless ways and your solitude
I see you leaning your lanky frame
Just inside the door
A figure behind the kitchen screen
Staring down at the floor
Little angel, little brother
(SOLO)
Little angel little brother
Your passion for Shakespeare and your paperbacks
Your chess pieces and your wisecracks
I see you sleeping in the car
Curled up on the back seat
Parked outside of a bar
An empty bottle at your feet
Little angel, little brother
Your R & B records your music books
Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks
I see you now at the piano
Your back a slow curve
Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino
While I sang all the words
Little angel, little brother
Little angel, little brother of mine
Peace to you and your Mom.
