“I’m sorry, older brother, I’m sorry, Mommy and Daddy. I want to see the world with you, I want to talk to the stars with you, I want to pain my heart’s desire with you, I want to climb my worries with you, I want to take care of who I love with you, I want to build bridges with you, I want to fight away my nightmares with you, I want to go camping with you, I want to be your son and you brother.
“I love you, older brother.”
