Well done!!!! You wrote a beautiful post, and I so wish it was on my day of curating. (•ิ‿•ิ)

There are just so many lessons to be learned from your post that I don't know where to start. Let me start with your brother. What a story! I am just so glad that he is now in the land of new beginnings and that he can start working on a future for him and his daughters.

Let me end my comment with the following:
Your post made me realize again how precious our lives are.

I wish you all the best for this contest!
PS: Thank you for the invitation.
