I need to call in all good will that I've built up and ship it out to my brother. His name is Justin, he's 34, he has four little kids. He fell off of a second story scaffold, face first, onto concrete. He's in the hospital, with multiple skull fractures, having surgery to relieve the blood pooling in his brain.
We've always said of Justin that if he didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all (thanks Hee Haw!) Granted, he makes bad choices. It's kind of his trademark. Poor impulse control, bad choices. But other people can make the same choices and get away with it. Justin gets away with NOTHING. This time? Up on a homemade wooden scaffold with his partner. Too much weight. Bad decision. Wood splinters, Justin falls to the pavement. His partner falls too, but his fall is first broken by the air conditioner, and then? By Justin. Fell ON him. Partner is uninjured. I know, totally not funny. But damn, boy has got BAD luck. So he needs all of you to pull for him, okay? Thanks.
Once upon a time, a blog was started at AOL Journals. The scales fell from the eyes of The Creator and it was moved to Wordpress. Then Journals tanked and all old posts were moved here for safekeeping.

God, Deana! We'll be pulling for him here.
Aw, Deana.... I'm sorry to hear about your brother's fall. Tons of good will being sent his way. We are thinking of all of you over in GH.
