Since I shared a few days ago that I have not been active here as I dealt with the imminent death of my brother, I thought I'd share now – at the risk of too much sharing – that my brother died this morning.

@MossyQuartz Thank you so much. Yes, it meant a great deal for all of us to be together, often crying silently in each other's arms, sharing a bit of food with each other when we needed to eat. My brother would have wanted that kind of gathering, I really think.
