Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. I'm overwhelmed by your care and kindness!
I'm relieved to report that my brother is home safe and sound. He gave us quite a scare and what happened today is not at all typical for him. He never misses work -- never -- and when he didn't show up for work and didn't call anyone, we were beside ourselves with worry. He is mentally ill and has been in the care of a county mental health board for several years. He's in his mid fifties now and has several physical health problems, too, adding to our concern. I still don't have the details on where he was, I'm just grateful that he's home.
Thanks again for all your prayers and good thoughts. It was a real comfort in my time of need.
