Hi Anne, I wrote once already, but I guess I didn't submit it correctly. I'll try again. What impresses me the most, I think, is how close you are with your siblings...that is a real treasure! I know it's been very hard for you to lose your brother. Believe that you WILL see him again, one day..That will afford you some much needed comfort now and in the days to come! Much love to you and to your family.
