Goodbye Brother Don

When you come from a large family you assume that everyone will always be around, you take each other for granted, you visit, see each other at events, visit eachothers homes and enjoy their company.
.
My older brother Donnie went to the Doctors, they immediately put him in the hospital up in Burlington Vermont, they found he had cancer, this was on the 21st of September, he started chemo treatments,  while in the hospital we talked, I woke with severe diverticulitus, i was rushed to Lowville hospital;  my older brother and I called each other while in the hospital, I was released after 4 days of heavy antibiotics and went home, On October 20th my brother Donnie passed away in the hospital.
