Didn't want to leave anyone on a cliff-hanger from the last journal here, but we did end up losing my brother to cancer half-way through July, nearly 5 months after the initial stroke. It's been a few weeks now and everyday is still a little different than the prior - some harder, some not so much.
Family is adjusting about the same, we do have resources made available to us for counseling and such if we choose to act on it, so don't worry about that, it's just something that will take time ultimately.
I'm not planning on going anywhere, even with FA's up/down decision making the last few weeks or w/e, but I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be surprised if I'm just quiet with an occasional upload here and there, I do see a lot of new watches and just wanted to say 'hey the page isn't dead, just a bit slow'

Other than that, just don't be another Putin I guess? Do good, treat others well, all that happy-slappy m'kay?
