My Brother's Gone


September 21, 1997, on a Sunday around 12:45 or 1:00 P.M., my brother departed due to a aneurysm in the brain. Had no ideal that my brother was sick in any way. A year before that he was in a car wreck. Had three cracked ribs, punctured lungs, gash in his eye, fractured back. And by the grace of GOD he pulled through that.

They would not let him out of the hospital because of his high blood pressure. And who is to say that the aneurysm wasn't there then, if only a CT scan was done then. My brother complain of headaches till the day he died. For some reason he would not go to a doctor.

What my brother had was a leaking aneurysm it was leaking in his brain for how long we don't no. This could have been why the mood changes where happening to him.

I miss my brother so much, I knew I loved him, but never just how very much until he was gone. Now there has been several family members in my family on both sides with the verdict of an aneurysm. From in their leg, neck, back,etc., never know just how damaging this thing called aneurysm could be.
