I lost my alcoholic brother on the 22 of April 5 years ago. He did not wake up in the morning, after agreeing to go to the VA hospital that morning. He was living with me after being homeless. I know the anniversary is always a difficult day, but it too passes with time. I don't think it will ever be easy, just easier. He was my baby brother by 13 years. I have 3 remaining brothers and a sister. And my brother left 3 adult daughters, he now has a grandson!
