5. I have shared a few memories of my brother here.

He was a funny little kid. I shared about how he worried when we got a new President. He wondered what George Washington was going to do now. I shared about how he studied his Sunday School lesson. He told us that Jesus had healed the ten "leapers."

Karl and I were worried about some of his behavior and actions in the two weeks before his death. We thought he might be rationing his insulin, because the cost had increased so much. Karl had already loaned him money. We were trying to figure out a way to help him without wounding his pride. My brother would have rejected any more open charity. We thought about taking him out to eat more. We were trying to figure out a way to provide groceries. I had some ideas about that. I did not live close to him. He was ninety miles away. We were too late.
