There was a need to reach out and be a part of his life, as well as the pain of seeing him live his life within the confines of "the system". If you multiply our experience by the number of people who have a schizophrenic family member, there are a lot of people living in pain.

It sounds like your twin had a good hospital while he was there? Anyway, this is a side of your life I never saw and it's great to have it filled in. Keep up the posts!

It was wonderful to see you both again at the Vertebrats reunion in October.<br /><br />I'm happy you are both doing so well back east.
