Thanks everyone for your kind words and concern about my brother.
We still haven't heard anything from him. All I can do is wait for a call or email letting me know.
In the meantime I am trying to keep things as normal as possible.
One sad personal selfish item I have is that my mom had all the family photo albums at her house and now they are all gone. I only have 3 pictures of myself from before dh and I got married. That's including from birth to 23! Like I said, selfish thinking, there are worse things.
