Maybe they saw that picture and decided to bring Brian back so that the guy would look like a moron.

So what's next? How much money did you make annually? Will you make enough money from selling that you will be able to retire? Sorry to be so intrusive, obviously don't answer if you're uncomfortable doing so.

No throwaway because none of my friends or family knows my account. My mom was scheduled to have a c-section the following day. We lived about an hour away from the hospital. So when my mom started complaining about having pains, I thought it was just related to being far along. I shrugged it off and said there wasn't any sense in driving to the hospital since we would be going the next day.

The next day, I was getting ready to leave to meet my mom and sis at the hospital when I got a phone call. Figured they just wanted us to bring something that they forgot. All I remember was "Landon, they can't find the babies heartbeat".

I don't remember much about the following days. Mom and I both were unemployed then and we were lucky enough to have the coffin donated by a local funeral home. We buried Riley on my 19th birthday.

When my sister went into labor, they took her into the same hospital room that mom was in when they discovered there wasn't a heart beat anymore. My nephew, Noah, was born two weeks after we buried Riley.

Since then, I have lived with the guilt of knowing that I am responsible for my brothers death. If I had just agreed with mom and took her to the hospital that night, Riley might have survived.

It has changed my mom. She suffers from extreme paranoia. She is in an abusive relationship (emotional and physical abuse). She won't leave him until she can prove that he is a bad person. She has bought so many spy cams and voice recorders. She has been unemployed since then and it happened in 2008. I have tried to convince her to talk to a therapist. She will never go because she believes the therapist would talk to people about her.

Bottom line: these events will stay with you forever. Make sure you get the proper counseling and make sure you don't let them control your life.
