My older brother Rick succumbed to early onset Alzheimers today.
I've been thinking a lot lately of how life isn't fair.
My dad worked incredibly hard his whole life, and ended up battling prostate cancer right when he should have been retiring.
My younger brother Greg worked hard and retired early, only to die of a heart attack at age 55.
Then there was Rick, stricken with this in his early 60s, if not earlier.
Males don't seem to do well in our family. Feeling a touch of survivor's guilt right now, I suppose. Now there's just me and sister Cheryl, my junior by two years.

I'm nobody's pony.
