Save the hard stuff for last
My nephew lost his 3 year battle with cancer today. Mike Brockey was 35.
We are 'happy' in a way, because he was told 3 years ago that he had 6 months.
We are sad, because Mike will no longer be with us.
Mike was a fighter. He leaves 3 children and a wonderful woman that made his life better behind.
His Mom, ( my little sister) poured her heart and soul into his care so his family could have a semi-normal life.
WIERD part.... As Mike was cooling down with family waiting for a hearse, a firetruck drove past the house. A hose had came loose and grabbed a cluster mail box, ripped it free from the concrete and smashed his Mother-in-laws car to pieces! Then 2 other cars were severely damaged by the hose and flying debris.
So, the family was not only making 'final' arrangements, a large percentage of them were looking for a rental car.
Just no end to it!
