Post Script.

This post is part of my last one - 'An Eventful Week'. I couldn't write of these events then, as they hadn't unfolded, and I had to keep certain details quiet until they had.

After writing the post I attended my niece's wedding. A wedding is always a happy occasion, and this was no different.

It was a typical spring day(but thankfully the rain that threatened stayed away.) The outdoor ceremony was held amongst lovely gardens and mellowed buildings, while in the background a trio of musicians played soft, classical music.

The bride looked beautiful as she came down the path on the arm of her smartly dressed father, to join her handsome groom.

I was truly happy for the couple, as anyone could see the love that they shared, and was theirs alone ...

My brother ...  her father, showed his glee as the ceremony began, and I am sure like any proud father, he would have been pleased to see his daughter marrying the man of her dreams. He doesn't remember a lot now ... but I am sure that this memory would be stored somewhere, and along with other significant moments, will return to him along the way ...

Two days later un-beknown to himself or his daughter, he would be entering a full time care facility ... he is just fifty seven.

I trust that he will be healed and whole again in the new world to come ...
