Cheers to Brian Lee Cooper. Friend of Quicksand, friend of mine.

My story:
In July my brother had an accident and came very close to dying. The night it happened I talked to both of my parents who had both pretty much lost their shit. Feeling helpless for their son I would guess. Anyway, it was very strange being the one to comfort my parents. Telling them it would be ok and that he'll be fine. (He took a few weeks to recover and is ok now, btw) I talked to them every day for the week he was in intensive care and reminded them of what the doctors told us (that he'd recover) that it wasn't either of their faults (some family history there) and that he would be ok.

Towards the end of the week I was being grumpier than usual, my girlfriend asked me what my problem was and then it hit me. My brother almost died. I broke down right there for a good half hour. My girlfriend is a great woman who understood and let me bawl in her arms for as long as I needed.

*UPDATE*

I just stumbled in to the guitar face thread and saw this picture.
