Your poem just hit a nail with a hammer straight to my heart.

May his brother rest in peace.

Oh, how sad. I wouldn't even be able to fathom the kind of sadness that he feels, of having a loved one be sick and not being there to help care for them..and then passing away and not even able to go to his funeral to pay his respects. That would tear me apart. </3

I'm glad you wrote his story, it needed to be told.. you captured the emotion beautifully..and you can tell that your heart hurt for him. That shows your character, that you care even though you never knew this man. <3

Lovely piece, may his brother rest in peace and prayers are with his family.
