One Year...

One year has passed since I saw my big brother.

One year ago today, he died due to the neglegence of a hospital that was more concerned with their policies than the care of a human being.

One year ago today my brother had outpatient surgery and stopped breathing in the car on the way home.

One year ago, my two nieces had to rush their dad back to the hospital, only to be told that they had to wait for an ambulance to bring him into the ER.

Seriously.

One year ago, my nieces and a security guard had to perform CPR until EMS arrived because the doctors and nurses had to follow hospital protocol. They reluctantly watched as my brother died in the parking lot.

One year ago, I lost my only brother. My friend.

Life can be such a kick in the ass sometimes.






I miss you, Richie. Give Mom and Dad a hug for me, k? ♥
