My father was a Veteran of WW11, Korea and Viet Nam. He died suddenly from a massive stroke. This was his second in the past year. My family has a history of atherosclerosis, stroke and arteriovenous malformation(AVM). Unfortunately they fail to understand and recognize that the members who have have been diagnosed with AVM and stroke are also Brain Injured, It is important that we become more educated as a society, on the causes, treatment , prevention and research that is available to everyone. We never know our day or hour..."if only" are regrets we have to carry for the things that we never said or did in the present. My father was a gentle man...a quiet man. He was my heart...and I miss him terribly.
