Sad news (sorry to say)

[Tripper11]

In his 40th year my brother lost his battle with leukemia. He fought hard, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Too many complications, a body beaten down.
It's been pretty shitty all around obviously, but I hold on to all the great memories I have of hims. He was 3 years younger then me, but we were good friends, as well as brothers.
even though I lost the physical brother, I still carry him, not only in spirit, but in blood, blood that is even thicker then brotherly blood because he saved my life by donating his stems cells so that I may be cured.
My blood type changed, it became his, his blood, his immune system is keeping me alive, strong and healthy every day, and believe me when I say, I think about it daily. So despite the physical loss, he will always, always be with me!
We all loved him so, he was good guy, great father, hardest working man out there, and did it positivity.
Where ever he is now, it's a good place, I know that.
Please take a moment to think about your loves ones, brothers and sisters, mom's and dad's uncles and aunts...good vibes, good thoughts to all the suffering in whatever form throughout the world

Peace and rest to Kevin, my brother, my life saver, I love you!
