My Brother's 59th Birthday.


I'd like to introduce you all to my brother, Ben, or Benster as some of the family calls him.  But I call him Mano.  He turned 59 on Aug 11, 2011. 
I had bought him a wifi thingie earlier for his bd so I made him a batman hat to give to him on his real birthday.
He loved it.  He loves batman and spiderman.  I call him Batmano and Spidermano. lol
Mano has termimal throat and lung cancer.  He was diagnosed about 6 months ago and was told he only had a few weeks to live.  He hasn't had one single bit of food in over those months.  He only drinks a soda or boost plus drink and maybe a small beer and tomatoe juice.
Don't know how he's doing it but he is hangin in there.  We text every day a few times a day on the text part of our phones. When we visit he uses his tablet or phone to text talk.
We all love him very much and are happy to see him whenever we can.
