Sorry to hear of your families loss, your brother was born the same month and year that i purchased a house in Anderson SC. 45 yrs ago your town and moved there for a couple yrs. where i raced and met your dad and some family members, you were just a little boy then, and you and I have been friends since the day i signed on to RJ over 6 yrs. ago.
Preyers are with us all on RJ, we are a family of friends and when 1 hurts we all hurt including myself. I too have had friends that got into drugs and alcohol only too see them hurt their life,family, and friends.
Again preyer is the only cure, but it may be yrs. before the 9 yr. understands.
