682 blizard of 2015 and my cuz Bryan loses the war miss you already 01 27 2015
Very quickly about the blizzard because there are more important things to write about.
The weather people forcasted 12-24 inches of snow but also said it would start Monday night and not end till Wednesday Morning. That total amount didn’t add up. I figured we’re get a lot more than 2 feet of snow.
I went out to shovel at 9AM and there was already 2 feet of snow. At 12, I heard my town reported 30 inchehs of snow and that does not include snow drifts. If this snow isn’t suppose to stop till tomorrow morning, although it is much lighter in amount, we’re sure to get 40 inches…or more.
Just another New England snow storm as far as I’m concerned.
My cousin Bryan battled bipolar and alcoholism for as long as I have known.
Unfortunately, the demons became too much. Yesterday my younger cousin Jalen, Bryan’s nephew, “heard him gasping” in the basement where he sometime took up resident. Jalen called 911 and about 4 PM was pronounced brain dead.
Bryan was the most caring, thoughtful, funny, man who had an apatite like no person I know. His charming personality and good natured sarcasm, making fun of everyone equally, was just some of the great qualities about him.
As I am writing this, I still cant believe it.
My heart is broken and even more so, it’s hurting for my aunty Sarah, cousin Heidi and her son Jalen, Cousin Brandon, his wife Tina and their 2 children and Brandon’s X wife Josephine and her 2 children who she had with Brandon.
He was only 48 (maybe 49) years old
This was far from the first try but it was just too much. It was too much.
I love you Bryan
P.S. don’t say anything on FB about this in any way unless in a private message. Thank you
