Today was harder on me than I'd like to admit

Finally heard from my mom. I didn't talk to her yet... I just barely opened the messages now because it seemed like too much to deal with earlier.

She found my brother. His dad took him & disappeared years ago... Nobody's been able to find either of them ever since. It's a long story.

Well my mom finally found his dad & hunted him down. Discovered that he gave up my brother years ago, right after he disappeared with him. I have the family's info now, I just looked her up on their social media & it's my little brother 馃様 I wasn't sure if I believed it but it's him. He's grown so big but I recognize him still. Even if it's kinda difficult to by now.

Then my best friend discovered today that his 1 year old son has leukemia.
I broke down when I got that text because I can't even imagine. I don't have kids but I can't imagine anything worse than to watch your children suffering.

So idk... Just seemed like a lot of emotions today. I don't really know what to do with it yet. Maybe I take on other people's feelings too much.

But on another note, this is my first time drinking these black Modelos 馃嵒

Are you going to contact your little brother now that he's found? It's super rough that his dad have up on him while he war still so young. 馃が

I'm not sure about leukaemia. Is it treatable these days?

How was the black Modelo? 馃構

@Classified idk how to contact him yet. I don't wanna just attack the situation either because I don't know what reaction to expect. He's such a smart kid, super smart. I know he'll be mature enough to understand... but I just feel bad for his childhood. I feel bad wondering if he felt like nobody wanted him.

Leukemia is treatable to certain degrees. My friends son definitely has a chance but it's gonna be a hell of a journey. & Nothings guaranteed.

The Modelo is okay though. I prefer my regular ones

@ChiefWalksWith40oz It's smart to consider all those things first. Maybe it's best to not delay contacting him if you get his contact info. I could imagine it'll do him good if you're eager. 馃 But I don't know him and an not familiar with the situation of course. 馃槄

Hopefully they can treat the kid so he'll have a normal life.

The new takes some time to get used to. 馃構
