My brother passed away, a couple days before my birthday.

His memorial service is tomorrow.

We had a complicated relationship.

I did use bereavement time and sadness hits out of nowhere.

Today, I had grand plans to do all this stuff but alas; I just slept for most of the day.

I did get up in time to travel to get a tie for his service at the new Ross that just opened. (New to Michigan) 4/10 would not recommend.

I’m hopeful that things look up soon.
