My dad just called to tell me that my little brother Michael just died.
I've been expecting this call for years. Michael was profoundly retarded and had a life expectancy at birth of 12 years maximum. He would have been 23 in another month. My parents did everything in their power to make sure he was happy, and he was a happy little guy. He was their baby for 23 years. That's a long damn time.
Anyway, I knew it was coming, but I hate it now that it's here.
I'm so sorry, Cor. Sending lots of sympathy in your direction.
I'm so sorry for you and your family, Cor. Sounds like Michael gave as much love as he got.
Oh, Corwood, I'm so sorry.
Corwoord, I'm so sorry. It's always sudden.
Expecting something doesn't necessarily make it any easier when it's there. My thoughts to you and your parents, Corwood.
I'm sorry, Cor. So much love to your whole family.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Corwood.
Oh, Corwood, I'm sorry. Much peace to you and yours. Even when it's expected, it's sudden.
