Update: WOOOHOOO!!!!

Got a call from my brother at 3:08 p.m. today. He is in great spirits! I think he has been taking his meds and it shows by the tone of his voice on the phone Aw man I am so relieved to hear him sounding so great. Hell he even said that he loved me! I don't expect the "bumpy ride" is over, but I am beginning to learn that sometimes you just have to set the big picture aside from time to time and enjoy a good day when your having a good day. This apartment is a little lonely without my brother, and both the apartment and I will breathe a sigh of relief when he gets home. All is not clear, and I am still cautious, but for right now, it is rainy and cool out, I can hear the sounds of water splashing under the tires of the traffic outside, The Beatles are playing on my MP3 player, my brother is in good spirits, and I am feeling pretty damn good right now. Thank you brother, I needed this desperately. I love you too!!!
