You were dry when I came back you
I encouraged you to drink
The best brain in the family
And like our lack of parents
We fought or we sunk
I fought and still do
You have further to fall
Trying to be a nice guy
Smashed to hell for it all
Just liking life
You made your mistakes
Some good, some bad
You never decided people's lives

I hope they find you
What they find I dont know
I walked away a long time ago
But family
Gets under your blood

I found out about 2 hours ago that my brother had been missing for 2 days and the police have been informed.

I couldn't think of anything else to write.

Dave

Dave, as a friend, I will give the advice of "prepare for the worst". I did with my brother, and after a year, a logging crew found his remains.

I'm sorry for your bad news, and I hope for the best...sending prayers...

Lliana, Youugatheart, muted

Thanks - the police found him this morning he is ok.

My heart goes to you for your brother.

Phil disapeared before and was half dead when they found him.

My brother took my mother's death last year far worse than I did.

I left home at 16 and came back occasionally, and supported my mother but I was too interested in myself and what I was doing and there are other reasons why I got away from my family as soon as I was legally able to do so and I never really came back.

My sister and I thought they would find Phil living rough, luckily he went to an area where police found him.

Thank you for your support and
thanks for this site existing to just let me release some of the pressure.

Love you all

Dave

that's strange....my mother died before my brother did and they both committed suicide,  my brother did it the same exact way my mother did...I guess he took her death harder than I did too...

My prayers go to you and your family Dave. I hope Phil gets straight and doesn't end up like my brother.

It's a sad thing to have to deal with.

*love you too*

Hi Dave

This was such a heartfelt write and I am so glad they found your brother.  I am so glad you found your way to PIP and I am sure you already know that we are always here for you whenever life gets you down.  I sincerely mean that and you can email me anytime.

Take care

Sue

I'm anchored in you
