A sad story indeed. Yes, there is always something that tears us apart. You certainly have had a rough time of it. I hope some happy memories temper the hurt. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get a smile out of the day.
Regards
Barry Penfold.

My condolences for the loss of your family, you and your brother were good children who loved their parents, this story held me captive as I feared the worst about your Dad, I heard of several people who died after the vaccine,

I don't think you've actually done anything wrong, feeling guilty for being human is no reason, I've been taught that what is past, and the only time we have is this very moment. When grieving is over we move on, I know that our dearly departed would want that, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Hi Magpie. Nice to meet you
This is very moving. I'm assuming it's fiction. I sort of knew when daddy begged her to stay one more day that if she didn't something drastic would happen.
I don't think Jim's lack of cornbread had anything to do with it
Cornbread is just not something you shoot yourself over
If this is autobiographical, then I'm sorry for your losses
My family is getting to the point where we start dying off. The oldest will be 74 in January and the next oldest will be 73 in December and then I'll be 72 in November. Out of all of us, I have the worst health by far. So I kept thinking I'm going to go first go first, But my sister said I take a lickin and keep on tickin
I hope I go first because I won't be able to stand burying my brothers and sisters
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job. Thank you for post.

Hi, thank you so much for reading my story. It's biographical. Brother did not think Daddy died because he didn't get cornbread. He knew it was because he missed Mama so much. What bother Jim was that the one tiny thing Daddy asked for that day, Jim was too busy to do. The guilt of not providing that one comfort stayed with him until he died in 2019. My husband died twelve years ago and how I adored him! I thought that was the worst that could happen until my daughter, Jaimie, died after taking the Covid booster. Her doctor told me that the cases of double-viral pneumonia skyrocketed with that booster, as did so many other illnesses. With her loss, I lost the will to live. I have a son, but he and his wife live about 900 miles away, so I seldom see them. Right now, I keep on because my sister and her husband are both disabled, and I am trying to help them. The joy of life left with my daughter's death.
