Brian has stopped eating and drinking. He doesn't want to live like he's living. I haven't talked to him in a month and our last conversation wasn't a good one. He wasn't wanting anyone to call him but I never dreamed that would include me. In the phone call before that, he told me that it was no way to live. It must be hard having your mind normal and not being able to move or do anything for yourself. It's been a very sad year. I hate that this has happened to him. He's much too sweet a man to have to leave the world this way. I'm so glad I got to see him in October. I just wish he wasn't isolating himself like this and that I weren't so far away. If I were there, that might have made a big difference.
