I just got home from having my mammogram and I got a call that my Brother in law was found dead yesterday in his apartment. He just turned 57 and lives in Colorado. He died in his sleep they think on Friday. He was a lifelong alcoholic who had just gone 4 months sober. He was a kind and caring person but just couldn't get his life together. My husband's dad died a year ago and so now he is all that is left of his family. I feel so bad I talked to Dale, my BIL every week as his girlfriend left him 1 1/2 years ago after living together for 18 years. He really had nobody. Now I am trying to make the arrangements and I think we will have to fly out there. I am afraid to fly and I am afraid to leave Cali with my dtr. I am hoping we can handle a lot of things from here and fly in for one long day. Thanks for listening.
