Tonight while trying to get a date set for my brother's memorial one of his friends messaged me on FB. I thought it was his first girlfriend, but it turned out to have been someone he dated later.

In the last couple times my brother and I talked, we finally talked about the foster home, what happened, why people didn't listen. I learned a lot. It wasn't that people didn't listen, they did, and some even reported it, but the people investigating dropped the ball.

Tonight I learned that even after he left the foster home where my sister and I were abused he kept running away to come back and get us. He was so angry and frustrated that we were separated. Makes me wonder if he thought leaving/getting kicked out would get all of us moved?

I enjoyed talking to her, and learned a lot about my brother that I didn't know.
