I hope the future is a little less stressful than all of that would have been.
I imagine it would have been draining for you trying to keep your patience.

Thank you.  Sometimes it was.

You gave up your career to care for your daughter, didn't you?

Not exactly.  I was not working while I was pregnant with her and I had expected to spend time at home with her anyway, even if she had no medical issues.

Even if I had, she is definitely worth it.

Thank you.  I got to see my brother and be with him when he died.

I wanted to plant a tree in his yard for his family, but I didn't get a chance to do that.  I gave his wife some money so she could go and choose her own tree.

I went to his funeral on Saturday.  There was a slide show of photos of him that his brother-in-law made on a DVD, which people watched at the funeral as well as at the visitation at the funeral home Friday evening.  That was nice.  I was upset that the cemetary would not allow the live plants that people sent for his funeral to stay on his grave.  They were going to get rid of them and just allow the fresh flower arrangements that were on stands to stay there.  Anyway, I took two of the plants on the airplane to being them home with me and made several other people take a plant home with them too.  I know that was probably a silly thing to become upset about, but it really bothered me.  It is just a policy of that cemetary.  His wife did not have a lot of time to research different funeral homes and cemetaries and their policies.  She did not even know for sure if my brother wanted to be buried or cremated, but she guessed he would have wanted a traditional burial. She told me that I need to discuss these things with my husband because it was extremely difficult to make such horrible decisions for someone else.

I'm still really sad, but I had a nice dream about my brother where he was driving his old car and smiling and waving goodbye to me, so that helped.  The last thing I said to him before they closed his casket was "Bye."  His wife put a birthday card in his hand because July 10 is his birthday and he died one week before it, on July 3.

that's so sad, being near his birthday.  that happened with my dad - he died on the 13th, and his b'day was on the 19th.

mark his birthday anyway, hon - i light a candle or something as simple as that.  and i phone my mum, or make that one of my bi-annual visits, and my sisters and her do something to mark his birthday, even if it's just a glass of wine, or being all together.

No this is has nothing to do with questioning rather you are NT or not. This was posted on WP too (not by me) and I am curious to see what results people get.

I am sorry if it was too personal a question. I don't know what I shouldn't ask sometimes.
But I am interested in your answer to McJagger's question as well.
