I know what you all are saying.

I was not on very good terms with my oldest brother, Vern, for reason's I
won't go into here.  The day after Thanksgiving, 1997, I got a call from my
brother John stating that Vern had been hit and killed by a car.  Since then
I've been more careful not to take people in my life for granted.  My
parents and I don't see each other often, but we keep in touch by phone.
