Fraternity vs adversity

When a family member experience a terminal illness all the family group is affected deeply. My brother Ignacio is 53 years old. He has a wife and two sons. He is a teacher and a brave patient of liver cancer. In his conditions,he can't work the same as he used to before. his economic situation got worse too. The las December 2007 he loosed his job and his possibilities of carrying his obligations. Then I decided to help them in the best way possible. I made a brothers team to put his family in a safe and comfortable place. After a huge effort I spent a part of my saving account bank and with all the love I purchased a little apartment in Bogota city where they are finally overcoming this unpredictable experience.Nobody in the family knows how long time we will have our brother Ignacio with us. He is going to face another session of chemotherapy next February. Although he is tired and afraid of something being wrong,he feels alive in relation to his future family. His wife got a new job in a school, his sons are very good gays trying to take care of my brother. All my family is around them giving emotional support because only God knows what will happen to him.

When a member of the family is ill, everything changes. Your brother is lucky to have a sister like you.

In a situation that serious, people depend on each other. In the end, each other is all any of us have.
