His name is Jesse and we never really got along that well. On the way to my sons burial....in the limo...he asked me why I wasn't going to church anymore (He's a Mormon) and before I could get anything out my ex yelled at him that now was NOT the time to talk of such things. Anyway, he had a horrible fall in 1990, when he was hiking in Utah. He had very bad injuries but recovered. Late last year he started to feel VERY dizzy and eventually quit working. He finally saw a doctor the other day and was told that his brain is deteriorating and that he has between 6 months to 2 years to live....I don't know all the technical stuff as my ex called in tears this morning :\'(

Sorry to hear that, RnRF...

Is his brain problem associated with his fall, or is it some other disease/problem?

Details are sketchy at best...she was pretty hysterical....I do think a lot of it has to do with that fall though :-\\

That sucks.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

R&R Fan - I'm sorry to hear this, that's so sad.   He must be young?  It seems you and your family have really had a rough go of it for a few years now. 

Thanks, Bobby.....However BAD my luck gets...I will Always try to help others ;)


You are a shining example, RockandRollFan.  :)

I know there isn't much we can say or do for you. Just to let you know
we care.

Our political differences aside, I very much appreciated your comforting words concerning my late son Blaine a while back...I know that you are a kind and caring person and I'm happy to know you, DanootaAndMe :)

Tell Ella that I'm keeping her and her brother in my thoughts and prayers.

18 years and 5 boys....Blaine's death made us closer for a while but then we drifted apart....Ella moved back to where she grew up in Utah and is living with a guy she knew in grade school....bottom line is she's Happy ;) That's what matters most to me.

Sometimes it's not as easy as that, Howard. Sometimes two people grieve in different ways and it can cause problems for each other (not saying this was or wasn't in RockandRollFan's case). I believe RockandRollFan said they grew apart before Blaine's death and that his death kept them together for a little bit longer. That is correct isn't it, RockandRollFan?

Yep....you are correct, Bobby. For me to have to listen to my ex talk about how Blaine "Moaned" for nearly a minute before he actually "Died"....then I took her to the hospital where he almost died 5 days earlier..(He was at a party and someone had drugged him)....and talked to the nurse who had treated him. She said that where he was shot....through his heart....there was NO way he was "There" after the bullet went through him. That and some other things is what broke us up. She is Happy now and THAT is my main concern (Along with my other boys)....I thank everyone for thier kind thoughts though :)

So do you have anyone special in your life now, RockandRollFan?  :)

Mark I'm sorry to hear that your former brother-in-law is now battling a life threatening condition.  Sometimes you feel as though you just can't take a trick in this life :(
