Wow...so far I'm the only person who's turned down the million. I really don't see it as opening old wounds. Far to the contrary, for me having another day with my brother would give me the chance to put some things well and truly to rest. I could tell him how sorry I am that much of his life sucked, and that while it wasn't my job to make it better I wish I could have done more. And I could ask him how he would feel about me risking having a kid with the same disease he struggled with all his life, vs. choosing not to have a kid because of the disease. I could tell him one more time how much I love and admire him. And then we'd go to a skate park and I'd watch him do what he loved doing one last time. Worth more than a million, IMHO.
