First sentence.

hits close to home for me. my next youngest brother was a blue baby, mentally retarded because of lack of oxygen. however, he has an amazing memory, he will remember someone if he meets them once and then not again for years.

i was hanging out with him earlier this week, and it is almost like i can see another person trapped inside him, just trying to get out. it is frustrating for me to watch, i can't even begin to imagine his frustration.

cool post. i bawled my eyes out the first time i saw the rain man. same with, whats eating gilbert grape

I was just about to post this discrepancy that you have pointed out. He would be 58-59 years old depending on his month of birth.

He was actually 58 when he died.
