Well my brother died in the spring, he skipped his daughters wedding to get drunk and when she came home at night he smelled so bad. He was screaming and yelling at her, so she called an ambulance, the took him, with a great deal of difficulty to a hospital, turned out he had sepsis and it was too late to help him, he died the next day. YOu might say he is at peace, with both parents dead, I have become a fixture in his children's' lives, was there when welcoming his second grandchild, first by his youngest daughter. The kids are deeply in dept from first their mother's hospitalization, she thought she was healthy so she didn't bother to get hospital insurance, and from their father's extreme hospital stay. He broke a lot of things trying to leave, not covered by insurance.

So no more stress about helping him. Regrets sure, I didn't have to call him a useless piece of crap the last time I saw him. But at least he won't drag his kids down with him. They sold his house and I got the money I lent them to save it from foreclosure.
