This is my older half brother. this picture was taken when I took him to go see gramma down in Salem. As I have been lying here trying to sleep to get ready for a working interview at 1am(yes its a baker position) I have been worrying about him and trying to figure out how to make his life better. My brother was adopted when I was very young. I am not sure how his accident happened but I know my brother was not born the way he is now. After many foster homes and group homes (I am angry my mother sent him away!) he now lives on his own in Longview. I am very upset as my brother is lonely, his house is not a home and no one has shown him how to do that. If you read this, please take a moment to envision my brother and surround him with love and light. Ask his angels to banish his daemons, pray for him to let forgiveness into his heart because it is eating him up inside. He spends what little money he has on beer and really cheap cigarettes.(man do they stink!) I saw him recently and he hasn't done laundry in a while. I don't know what to do for him except try to be his friend. It is hard, I don't know him very well. I just recently found him and the way he lives makes me very sad.
Please pray for my brother. That the people who are his support staff take care of him better. That they find in their hearts that he is not just another case number and really pay attention to what his life has become. His life has been one of many disappointments and I don't want to be another. Please pray that I can improve the quality of his life. Please pray that I can be the person he can count on. That I can love him no matter what. That he finds love and hope in his heart again. And joy.
Thanks.
RS
